Know before your glucose goes high or low.
The Guardian™ Connect continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system allows you to see glucose levels, trends and alerts on your mobile device. The system can be used by those living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
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.
60-minute predictive
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.
Customizable
Alert settings that meet your needs
Be notified 10 to 60 minutes before your glucose is out of range. You can also adjust alert volume and mute alerts when needed. Plus, choose different settings for day and night.

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.†

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.”
