Description

Note, the App should not be used to make medical decisions. Use it at your own risk.

Guardian Monitor is an app that take only reads glucose values from the one of available CGM service and it doesn’t change any settings on it.

To use this App, you must have your own account of the original service, since authorization is required, without which the App will not work.

The App extends the standard functionality with its own alarm mechanism, in which you can configure reaching, predicting the glucose limit and no readings from the service.
In addition, it is possible to set the application to run in the background, thanks to the playback of the standby sound, which will turn into an alarm when necessary.

Other features include:
- glycemic and statistics charts
- ability to turn on the snooze
- Apple Watch support
- Widget extension with chart and last glucose value

Worth the effort!!!

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.

Great app that is headed in the right direction!

I have waited over 50 years for a way of viewing my blood glucose on my wrist. Dexcom has figured this out, but for some reason Medtronic is sorely deficient in making any progress towards that end. With this app, I can now view my BG on my Apple Watch. You do have to turn off your 2 step verification security settings on your Carelink account and even Medtronic tech couldn’t tell me how to do that so I had to create a new log in with that factor NOT turned on. Also this widget will only show up as an option on certain watch faces in the watch face gallery, but that’s minor compared to the joy this app has brought to me and many other Medtronic wearers. Many THANKS to the programmer. We now have a facebook page for users, which enables those who need help setting it up to ask questions.
Medtronic should be paying you.
You have made me very happy.

Fantastic app

Works great on my iPhone 12 and Apple Watch series 4. It’s amazing that one guy can create this while Medtronic offers nothing, even though users have been begging for a watch app.

I never hear of feel my pump’s alarms at night. The official Medtronic phone app is somewhat better for that, but still not loud enough. This app solves that problem and I don’t think I’ll be spending hours sleeping with a BG below 50 mg/dl anymore because I didn’t hear the alerts.
