Minimed Guardian Real-Time Continuous Glucose System - 4 Pack

Continuous glucose monitoring measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid which surrounds skin cells. Monitoring provides continuous information about glucose fluctuations that is not otherwise obtained with intermittent testing. The intent is to provide additional information to the clinician to aid in improved overall glycemic control. The Guardian REAL-Time Continuous Glucose System is a doctor-prescribed, patient-owned continuous glucose monitoring system that displays an updated REAL-Time glucose value every five minutes and alerts patients when glucose levels become too high or too low, this information helps patients take action before they experience a problem. The Guardian REAL-Time System goes anywhere you go, no matter how active your lifestyle is. The monitor is small, comfortable, and easy to wear. 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.
