Medtronic blood glucose sensor.

Medtronic is the only company that offers standalone cgm and sensor integrated pump therapy which streamlines the process for optimal customer experience. By using a continuous glucose monitor your cgm system will automatically receive glucose readings every 5 minutes allowing you to fingerstick less often. Insertion of a glucose sensor may cause bleeding or irritation at the insertion site. 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.

The information provided by cgm systems is intended to supplement not replace blood glucose information obtained using a blood glucose meter. Get started benefits of cgm powered byguardian sensor 3. Measures sensor glucose 24 7 and sends alerts when a high or low is detected. 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.

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. Why sensor glucose does not equal blood glucose. Your sensor glucose sg readings are taken from your interstitial fluid and not from your blood like fingersticks. Sensor transmitter troubleshooting tips.

The enlite sensor has an electrode that inserts just under the skin to measure your glucose values. Do not calibrate your cgm device when sensor or blood glucose values are changing rapidly e g following a meal or physical exercise. Without predictive alerts turned on it has a 90 5 hypoglycemia detection rate when worn on the abdomen.
