The app
1. Current glucose level
Glucose levels are updated every 5 minutes – helping you see your levels in real-time. The trend arrow next to your current reading lets you know the direction your glucose is heading.
2. Event markers
Easily track when an insulin dose is delivered, a meal is eaten, or exercise occurs. These markers will help you learn how your glucose reacts after an event.
3. Glucose trend line
See how your glucose has trended over the past 24 hours. Daily trend lines can help you understand daily patterns with glucose fluctuations.
The sensor & transmitter
1. Sensor
Checks glucose levels every 5 minutes. Can be worn on the abdomen, arm, or buttock depending on your age.
2. Transmitter
Connects to the sensor and sends glucose information to your smartphone.
Stay in the know with glucose alerts.
Low glucose
Helping you avoid lows
Receive alerts on your phone if your glucose is at or trending towards 70 mg/dL. Predictive low alerts can help you take action before your glucose dips.
High glucose
Helping you avoid highs
Receive alerts on your phone if your glucose is at or trending towards 180 mg/dL. Predictive high alerts can help you take action before your glucose rises out of range.

Helping you take action before your glucose is out of range
The Guardian Connect system is the only CGM that offers alerts up to 60 minutes in advance of a high or low. Predictive alerts can help you take action sooner, giving you more time to prevent your levels from going out of range.

Worry less about glucose levels.
It is so helpful to be able to see all my trends and not have to be checking my blood sugar every 5 minutes."

Real customers. Real insights.
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 overnight while I am sleeping and will alert me if my blood sugar is rising or falling to a dangerous number.
Julia
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.

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 cells. 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.†

What smart device models are compatible with the Guardian™ Connect continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system?
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."
