Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems track glucose levels, every few minutes, 24/7 through a tiny sensor inserted under your skin, either on your belly or arm using an automatic inserter. The sensor measures your interstitial glucose level, which is the glucose found in the fluid between the cell. CGM therapy can be used with or without an insulin pump.
Smart CGM predicts future high and low sensor glucose events up to an hour in advance and provides access to information that can inform you of clinically relevant glucose patterns.†
Measures sensor glucose 24/7 and sends alerts when a high or low is detected. Without predictive alerts turned on, it has a 90.5% hypoglycemia detection rate (when worn on the abdomen). With predictive alerts turned on and set at 30 minutes before a low, the Guardian™ Connect system had a 98.5% hypoglycemic detection rate (when worn on the abdomen. With this information, you can take action to help avoid highs and lows.2,3
