REAL-Time display
The REAL-Time display gives you added protection and confidence 24
hours a day. REAL-Time Trend Graphs, Trend Arrows, and Glucose Readings
help you understand the impacts food, exercise, and medication have on
your glucose levels, so you can learn to better manage your diabetes.
3 layers of protection for added confidence
The Guardian REAL-Time System gives you 3 layers of protection with
3 different kinds of alerts you can adjust to suit your needs.
You can use all or just one of these alerts to protect yourself from oncoming lows and highs:
- Predictive Alerts can be set to warn you 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 minutes before glucose
limits have been reached.
- Rate of Change Alerts let you know when your glucose levels are changing.
- Low and High Alerts tell you when you've reached the glucose limits you've set.
Protection that fingerstick testing can't provide
By itself, a fingerstick can only tell you what your glucose level
is at that moment in time. A high or low that happens between
fingersticks can easily be missed — and 60% of lows may not be revealed
by fingersticks at all.
With the Guardian REAL-Time System, you'll always know what your
glucose level is, which way it's heading, and how fast it's heading
there. And as you approach your glucose limits, you'll be warned in
plenty of time to take action.
Continuous glucose monitoring detects 4 times more dangerous highs and lows than fingersticks alone, and can significantly reduce your A1C levels, compared with fingersticks alone.And since you also get direction and rate of change information, you'll
be able to see patterns and possible problems that fingersticks might
miss.
Won't cramp your style
The Guardian REAL-Time System goes anywhere you go, no matter how
active your lifestyle. The monitor is small, comfortable, and easy to
wear — on your belt, in your pocket, or under your clothing. The tiny
glucose sensor is discreet, easy to insert, and virtually painless. It
connects directly to the small (about the size of a quarter) MiniLink™
REAL-Time Transmitter, which wirelessly sends your glucose data to the
monitor. The MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter and glucose sensor are
waterproof when connected, allowing you to shower, bathe, and engage in
water activities.
