Improves therapy and hypoglycemia awareness
The information generated by the Guardian REAL-Time System can give you unprecedented control over the way you manage your diabetes. Continuous glucose monitoring can reduce your A1C levels when compared with fingersticks alone,1-5 which in turn can reduce your risk of longterm health complications.5 Research has shown that Guardian continuous glucose monitoring technology can help prevent or reduce the duration of hypoglycemic occurences6 by making you more aware of approaching lows. Preventing hypoglycemic occurrences can break the cycle of hypoglycemia unawareness by restoring symptoms necessary for detection and prevention.7

- 94% used readings and/or alerts to control their glucose levels
- 81% reported greater satisfaction with their glucose control
- 75% adjusted their insulin delivery
- 63% changed their diet
- 31% made lifestyle changes
The world leader in continuous glucose monitoring
Almost a decade ago, Medtronic Diabetes conducted its first continuous glucose monitoring clinical study. Just a few years later, CGMS System, the world's first continuous glucose monitoring system, was approved by the FDA for use by doctors. Since then, Medtronic has become the industry leader in continuous glucose monitoring by introducing groundbreaking products to help more and more people with diabetes. Thousands of patients have used our products to achieve better control, making it today's #1 prescribed CGM therapy. Our latest innovation, the Guardian REAL-Time System, is a highly advanced, personal continuous glucose monitoring system reflecting years of patient user experience.
