Continuous display

The Guardian REAL-Time System display gives you added information and confidence, updated every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day. With the Guardian REAL-Time System, an amazing amount of information is right there on your monitor.

Alarms

Three different kinds of alerts give you time to avoid or minimise oncoming highs and lows.

Continuous Glucose Readings

When you can read your current glucose level any time of day or night, you won't be surprised by a sudden low or high.

Trend Graphs

Seeing a graph of your glucose levels over the last 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours lets you identify patterns and fine-tune your diabetes management accordingly.

Trend Arrows

When your glucose levels start changing rapidly, these arrows show you the direction and rate of change, which helps you anticipate and react to the changes.

MiniLink™ REAL-Time Transmitter

The MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter is exceptionally comfortable because it is small, lightweight, ergonomically shaped, and designed to minimise skin irritation. An ultra-sleek, thin profile allows the MiniLink REAL-Time Transmitter to lay flat without a bulge.

• Small and thin profile (approximately 1/3 of an inch thick) — easy to hide under clothing.
  
• Wireless — provides flexibility for placement in different locations on the body.
• Waterproof — can be worn while swimming*, bathing, or showering without worries

Better control with CareLink Personal software

Web-based tools enable you to capture continuous glucose monitoring data and logbook entries online, and download easy-to-read charts, graphs, and tables. You and your healthcare provider can use these reports to discover patterns, problems, and insights not possible with fingerstick testing and logbooks. These insights can allow your healthcare provider to make therapy adjustments that can lead to better management of your diabetes. The reports can also help you identify opportunities for lifestyle changes that can improve control of your glucose levels.

CareLink is being launched in the UK during 2008. If you are interested in learning more about CareLink Personal software please contact us regarding availability.
