CONTINUOUS
GLUCOSE MONITORING

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) gives you a more complete picture of your glucose levels, which can lead to better lifestyle decisions and better glucose control.

What is CGM?

CGM systems track glucose levels, every few minutes, 24/7 through a tiny sensor inserted under your skin, either on your abdomen 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 ARE THE BENEFITS OF CGM?

A blood glucose meter only provides a brief “snapshot” of your glucose level at a single moment in time. A CGM system gives you a greater view of your glucose trends. CGM can provide valuable information¹ at crucial points during the day, including before and during exercise, prior to driving, before test/exam-taking, and in the middle of the night.

IS CGM For Me?

CGM is especially beneficial for people who:²

Have frequent low glucose levels
Want to reduce their A1C targets without increasing low events
Have widely variable blood sugar levels

What are the different ways to use CGM?

Whether you manage your diabetes with a pump, multiple daily injections, oral medications or through diet and exercise^¶, Medtronic offers CGM products and insulin pump systems that give you, your loved ones and healthcare professionals the insights to track and manage your diabetes on your terms.

Important Safety Information: Guardian^™ Connect CGM System
The Guardian^™ Connect system requires a prescription and is indicated for continuous or periodic monitoring of glucose levels in the interstitial fluid under the skin, in patients (14 to 75 years of age) with diabetes mellitus. The system is intended to complement, not replace, information obtained from standard blood glucose monitoring devices, and is not recommended for people who are unwilling or unable to perform a minimum of two meter blood glucose tests per day, or for people who are unable or unwilling to maintain contact with their healthcare professional. The system requires a functioning mobile electronic device with correct settings. If the mobile device is not set up or used correctly, you may not receive sensor glucose information or alerts. For complete details of the system and its components, including warnings, contraindications, and precautions, please consult the user guide at http://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/support/download-library/user-guides and http://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/importantsafetyinformation.

Important Safety Information: MiniMed^™ 770G System With SmartGuard^™ Technology
The MiniMed^™ 770G system is intended for continuous delivery of basal insulin (at user selectable rates) and administration of insulin boluses (in user selectable amounts) for the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons two years of age and older requiring insulin as well as for the continuous monitoring and trending of glucose levels in the fluid under the skin. The MiniMed^™ 770G System includes SmartGuard^™ technology, which can be programmed to automatically adjust delivery of basal insulin based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor glucose values (SG) and can suspend delivery of insulin when the SG value falls below or is predicted to fall below predefined threshold values.

The Medtronic MiniMed^™ 770G System consists of the following devices: MiniMed^™ 770G Insulin Pump, the Guardian^™ Link (3) Transmitter, the Guardian^™ Sensor (3), one-press serter, the Accu-Chek^® Guide Link blood glucose meter, and the AccuChek^®Guide Test Strips. The system requires a prescription.

The Guardian^™ Sensor (3) has not been evaluated and is not intended to be used directly for making therapy adjustments, but rather to provide an indication of when a fingerstick may be required. All therapy adjustments should be based on measurements obtained using a blood glucose meter and not on values provided by the Guardian^™ Sensor (3).

All therapy adjustments should be based on measurements obtained using the Accu-Chek^® Guide Link blood glucose meter and not on values provided by the Guardian^™ Sensor (3). Always check the pump display to ensure the glucose result shown agrees with the glucose results shown on the Accu-Chek^® Guide Link blood glucose meter. Do not calibrate your CGM device or calculate a bolus using a blood glucose meter result taken from an alternative site. It is not recommended to calibrate your CGM device when sensor or blood glucose values are changing rapidly, e.g., following a meal or physical exercise.

WARNING: Do not use the SmartGuard^™ Auto Mode for people who require less than 8 units or more than 250 units of total daily insulin per day. A total daily dose of at least 8 units, but no more than 250 units, is required to operate in SmartGuard^™ Auto Mode.

WARNING: Do not use the MiniMed^™ 770G system until appropriate training has been received from a healthcare professional. Training is essential to ensure the safe use of the MiniMed^™ 770G system.

Pump therapy is not recommended for people whose vision or hearing does not allow recognition of pump signals and alarms. Pump therapy is not recommended for people who are unwilling or unable to maintain contact with their healthcare professional. The safety of the MiniMed^™ 770G system has not been studied in pregnant women. For complete details of the system, including product and important safety information such as indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions associated with system and its components, please consult https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/important-safetyinformation#minimed-770g and the appropriate user guide at https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/download-library
