Do not calibrate your cgm device when sensor or blood glucose values are changing rapidly e g following a meal or physical exercise.
Medtronic blood glucose sensor.
Caring for your sensor transmitter.
Guardian sensor 3 can be worn for up to 7 days however if your sensor is not performing well you may receive a change sensor alert.
The information provided by cgm systems is intended to supplement not replace blood glucose information obtained using a blood glucose meter.
The enlite sensor has an electrode that inserts just under the skin to measure your glucose values.
By using a continuous glucose monitor your cgm system will automatically receive glucose readings every 5 minutes allowing you to fingerstick less often.
Without predictive alerts turned on it has a 90 5 hypoglycemia detection rate when worn on the abdomen.
Your sensor glucose sg readings are taken from your interstitial fluid and not from your blood like fingersticks.
Our most advanced sensor guardian sensor 3.
Consult a physician immediately if you experience significant pain or if you suspect that the site is infected.
Medtronic is the only company that offers standalone cgm and sensor integrated pump therapy which streamlines the process for optimal customer experience.
Manage your glucose levels with a smarter cgm continuous glucose monitoring system powered by guardian sensor 3.
Get started benefits of cgm powered byguardian sensor 3.
Continuous glucose monitoring is an advanced way for people living with diabetes to check glucose readings in real time or monitor glucose readings over a period of time.
D b a medtronic diabetes or its subsidiaries contractors or representatives to use your personal information.
Do not calibrate your cgm device or calculate a bolus using a blood glucose meter result taken from an alternative site palm or from a control solution test.
Measures sensor glucose 24 7 and sends alerts when a high or low is detected.
In conjunction with the guardian 2 link transmitter your glucose information is sent directly to your minimed insulin pump.
Interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds the cells of your tissue below your skin and usually glucose moves from your blood vessels and capillaries first and then into your interstitial fluid.
Each monthly box of sensors includes 30 days of sensor wear to ensure you are only provided with safe reliable and accurate sensor glucose values.
The enlite sensor is compatible with most medtronic smart pump technology systems.
Why sensor glucose does not equal blood glucose.
The minimed 670g system includes smartguard technology which can be programmed to automatically adjust delivery of basal insulin based on continuous glucose monitor sensor glucose values and can suspend delivery of insulin when the sensor glucose value falls below or is predicted to fall below predefined threshold values.
