Guardian Monitor

I appreciate being able to review graphs to see the individual delivery amounts of each 5 minute microbolus. It helps me understand the nuances of how the algorithm is adapting to me and changing with different settings adjustments.

Can't log in and now way to ask to reset my password 🥴

This app fills a much needed void due to Medtronic’s lack of providing additional connectivity for its insulin pump users. I’m one. Currently now using the 780g after upgrading from the 770g. I wish I knew about this app much sooner. It does work well on my Apple Watch. A bit slow sometimes on updating but only usually for a few minutes. This could be understandable since the Medtronic carelink network must go from pump to iPhone to Medtronic then back to care partners. I’m assuming in the case of this app that the care partner server is in Europe so it has to travel quite a way. If the author does read these reviews, I hope they would consider extending the apps capability to providing the data to the Apple HealthKit so that data could be charted and thus used by 3rd party charting apps like Glucose Trends. This was something I much enjoyed using when using a Dexcom sensor which did report data to the HealthKit. Glucose Trends was a powerful app allowing judgments to be made on adjusting settings for basal and bolusing. I do recommend this app highly to those desiring to see their SG on their watch as it provides the capability beyond that Medtronic provides even with the 780g (very limited watch faces for complication application) and none for the 770g system. Just make sure you have your carelink mobile login information handy and is correct. If you already have a care partner setup you should be definitely good to go.

I have been trying to get into the account for 30 minutes. The two factor authentication process isn’t working. It sends me a number but that number never unlocks the app. I’m so frustrated and at my wit’s end.

It’s not update with the blood sugar reading on my phone. Serval minutes of delay

It used to work great then all the big updates happened and now it’ll take 1,2 maybe 3 hours to catch-up on my watch. What’s the point of having it on your watch when the only way to refresh it is to pull out you phone? iPhone is a bit quicker. It’s not worth it to me anymore.

I’ve been a Medtronic user for over a decade.. I’m very slow to update with the times but I’m enjoying the real time data from using the Guardian CGM. I love the idea of having a watch app so I can easily check my sugars at work, on the go, etc. I am beyond grateful to the creator of this app for sharing this with us. I also followed the tips to get started- delete your 2 step authentication in CareLink by making a new username.. make sure to log on when your sensor is connected to the app, not in warm up, calibration, etc. Join the facebook group!! I’ve been struggling with burnout in the last year and my A1C’s have been running pretty high. So I am so so excited to have this in my health routine to be more aware of my blood sugars.

Can’t log in, though my credentials are correct (they are working in web-version of CareLink perfectly). Please, fix this!!!

It does not get any better than this for remote monitoring of Medtronic 700 series pumps.

Easily see your blood sugars on your Apple Watch. This works with Medtronic 700 series.
