Easily see your glucose data. Make more informed choices.
When you’re armed with more information, you can change behaviors or make decisions that could help improve your glucose control.
1 Current Glucose Level
Glucose readings are updated every 5 minutes – helping you see your levels in real time.
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 basics of continuous glucose monitoring
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.
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.†
Customize alerts to meet your needs
The system allows you to customize your alerts. Be notified 10 to 60 minutes before your glucose is out of range. You can also silence alerts if needed, plus choose different settings for day and night.

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.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.”
