Benefits of CGM for people with type 2 diabetes
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) allows you to see your glucose readings in real-time, 24/7.
Stay in the know
Using a CGM allows you to fill in the gaps between your blood glucose checks. Unlike other available CGMs, Medtronic CGM can show you not only your number, but also whether your glucose is heading high or low. It can even let you know up to an hour in advance.1
Ever had an unexpected low?
Medtronic CGM has a 98.5% low detection rate2 and can provide visibility to your glucose trends with predictive alerts up to an hour before a high or low, so you have time to take action.
Reduce long-term complications
CGM can help you gain greater control, reduce lows, and improve quality of life.3 People with improved glucose control can reduce long-term complications.
CGM options to fit your lifestyle
Tired of handwritten logbooks? Medtronic CGM automatically uploads your data to CareLink™ software so you and your healthcare team can identify trends over time and work together to manage diabetes on your terms.
