About this app

Introducing the Guardian™ Connect continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. The Guardian™ Connect system uses a tiny sensor to measure your interstitial glucose level, which is the glucose found in the fluid between the cells just below your skin, every 5 minutes. It takes readings all day and night and sends them to your phone via a small wireless transmitter, so you can see how you're doing anytime.

The Guardian™ Connect mobile app functions as the primary display of glucose data, showcasing up to 288 readings per day. You can see your most recent sensor glucose data and glucose trends over time. You can also receive alerts to notify you when you're going above or below your preferred range and keep track of daily events which may impact your glucose levels.

Your mobile app also sends your data to CareLink™ Personal diabetes management software, so you can see your full information online and share your information with family or friends. Those closest to you can even receive text messages whenever you go out of range.

To use the Guardian™ Connect system, you will need the Guardian™ Connect transmitter and Guardian™ Sensor 3, as well as this app. To learn more or purchase the Guardian™ Connect system, visit medtronicdiabetes.com.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This app will only work with Guardian™ Connect transmitter, which was specifically designed to communicate with your device via Bluetooth. This transmitter has the letters "GC" on the front. It will not connect to other Medtronic CGM transmitters, including the MiniLink and Guardian™ Link 3 transmitters.

The Guardian™ Connect system requires a prescription and is indicated for continuous or periodic monitoring of glucose levels in the interstitial fluid under the skin, in patients (14 to 75 years of age) with diabetes mellitus. The system is intended to complement, not replace, information obtained from standard blood glucose monitoring devices. See bit.ly/GCRisks

Ratings and reviews

Downloaded the app and followed the instructions more than a dozen times on connecting the transmitter to the phone/app, never worked. Made sure my phone, OS and updates were all correct, they are, still nothing. Irritated so I'm throwing in the towel for now, literally half of the benefit of the 770G over the 670G was the ability to see it all on my phone, ridiculous.

I liked (never loved) this app. It did help me monitor extreme highs and lows while I had an older Galaxy. It wasn't loud enough to wake me, but it was easier to look at my phone when my alarms sounded. I now have the Galaxy 22 Ultra, and they haven't updated the app. This phone has been out long enough for there to be an upgrade. What gives? I have a useless piece of equipment from Medtronic. This and the pump recall...definitely making me second think my pump upgrade and the nerve stimulator.

Not compatible with my OnePlus 7t on Android 10. Compatibility with newer devices isn't supported. Strange as usually it's the other way around. Any idea on when compatibility will be expanding? We've been waiting for this for a while. And, after reading this, it does not work with the 670g closed loop system. I was so excited but now so very let down. Been waiting years, only to find out that I still have to wait. Medtronic needs to focus on this as other companies are miles ahead.
