Description

Stay ahead of diabetes with the smart continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system.

Introducing the Guardian™ 4 smart CGM system featuring a new transmitter and sensor requiring no fingersticks for sensor glucose readings.* When the Guardian 4 CGM is applied to the skin, it uses a small sensor to measure sensor glucose levels every 5 minutes. Real-time readings are captured 24/7 and sent to a compatible mobile device via Bluetooth®** from a small wireless transmitter connected to the sensor, so you can see how you're doing anytime.

The Guardian mobile app is where you can view your sensor glucose, trends and log activities. The system also helps you know before you go high or low when predictive alerts are turned on. Choose when you want to be notified between 10-60 minutes in advance based on your preferred high and low range. You can select different options for alerts, such as maximizing the volume at night or muting all alerts when needed during the day.

When connected to Wi-Fi, the Guardian app can send your data to CareLink™ Personal diabetes management software, so you can see your personalized sensor glucose reports online and share them with select healthcare providers, family or friends. Those closest to you can even receive text messages whenever you go out of range.

To use the Guardian 4 system, you will need the Guardian 4 transmitter and the Guardian 4 sensor, as well as this app. The indicated age usage for the Guardian 4 system is ages 7+.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This app will only work with Guardian 4 transmitter, which was specifically designed to communicate with compatible mobile devices via Bluetooth. It will not connect to other Medtronic CGM transmitters, including the Guardian Connect and Guardian Link 3 transmitters.

The Guardian 4 system is made for people on insulin injections.

Please work on updates

I apreaciate the people who took time in making the app, I know it’s a lot of work but please…I literraly can’t use my phone updated to the newer versions of IOS, and it takes forever to update the app to work. It disconnects, errors, it just looses the purpose of why I use the sensor and the app if I can’t use them normally…

Terrible app

- For some reason I keep getting an alert when I open the app about the iOS version
- if the app is killed by iOS I need to wait a couple of minutes in order to get the last value
- the in-app alerts are horrible, who thought of having the alert cover the blood sugar value? Sometimes the alert just says something about not being able to connect to back end, I don’t care about that I want to read my blood sugar
- there are ZERO health integrations, why can’t you input the blood sugar alerts to the health app automatically and why can’t you read my workouts from there?
- why doesn’t this have an Apple Watch companion app??

Not enough updates

The app works decent enough and it's usable and I don't think I need more from it but the last update was 7 months ago. Since then Apple released some important security updates that I cannot have because I risk that the app will start working. It's not much needed, just update it to support newer versions of iOS. And maybe to not close itself in the background and stop giving notifications
