WHAT IS CGM?

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.

WHAT IS SMART CGM?

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.^†

Real People. Real Experiences.

Since starting the Guardian^™ Connect system with Sugar.IQ^™, my number of unexpected lows has dropped, which makes it so much easier to do my job and spend time with my students!

ALICIA

Having Guardian^™ Connect has allowed me to spend more time taking adventures with my two grand children. And, now I am alerted and can check my blood sugars and correct as needed.

DAWN

I never knew how a CGM would have such a positive impact on my life. The best thing about it is how it monitors my blood sugar over night while I am sleeping and will alert me if my blood sugar is rising or falling to a dangerous number.

JULIA

The Guardian^™ Connect system with Sugar.IQ^™ has made me so much more aware of the impact of high glycemic index (GI) foods. In the past, I might have great readings every 4 - 6 hours, but may have run high between tests. That concern is eliminated now with readings updated every 5 minutes.

RANDY

The ability to check my glucose level in an instant is so helpful to reduce the worry of a low while in a meeting, going for a walk or just being anywhere where it is less than ideal to check my blood sugar.

TERRENCE

The Guardian^™ Connect system is a game changer for me. Now I know what’s going on at all times, my levels are more stable, which in return allows me to feel better and be better to be around.

LINWOOD

Alicia, Dawn, Julia, Randy, Terrance and Linwood were compensated for their testimonial. Their thoughts and opinions are their own.^§

The Guardian^™ Connect system compatibility information can be found by visiting Guardian^™ Connect FAQs.

You should confirm compatibility with the Guardian^™ Connect system using this link before updating your operating system.

Does the Guardian^™ Connect system integrate with Medtronic insulin pump systems as well?

The transmitter used with the pump system is different and doesn’t have Bluetooth^® connectivity so it isn’t compatible with the Guardian^™ Connect app. The MiniMed^™ 600-series pumps use the Guardian^™ Link 3 transmitter, which uses a different wireless technology to communicate with the pump. The transmitter shell for the Guardian^™ Connect system also has a “GC” etched on the surface opposed to the pump system transmitter shell, which just has a “G.”
