Introducing the Guardian® REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring System
For Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) – this is a glucose monitor that is worn for three days that is able to tell what the blood glucose level is 24 hours per day. This is done to see if there are trends and can be utilized by your physician and diabetes educators to help you manage your food intake and medications to help you take better control of your diabetes.REAL-Time display gives you continuous awareness of your current glucose levels.
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.
Three layers of protection give you added peace of mind and confidence.
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.
Get a higher level of protection from dangerous highs and lows than fingerstick testing alone.
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 percent 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.
