Clinical indications

Instant glycaemic information to achieve better control!

The Guardian® RT system is a personal continuous glucose monitoring system displaying blood glucose levels to the user around the clock. This continuous insight facilitates any treat-to-target approach and empowers people with diabetes to take action before glycaemic excursions lead to emergencies. [Ref. 6].

Additionally, alarms provide added safety to patients when their blood glucose levels go above or below the target range.

By providing insight into glycaemic trends, Guardian® RT assists the healthcare team in making faster therapeutic adjustments to achieve better control.

Protect people with diabetes from severe hypoglycaemic events

Almost 50% of all severe hypoglycaemia episodes occur while the patient is asleep. If low blood sugar levels continue to go unnoticed or untreated, such episodes can become serious, especially for children. [Ref. 4, 5].

Guardian® RT system can help to warn diabetic people of severe hypoglycaemia due to its hypoglycaemic alarm function. By using Guardian® RT, you provide peace of mind to your patients and their families.


Identify glucose patterns

The 24 hr blood glucose profile gives insight that speeds up and improves diagnosis. You can detect unknown hypo- and hyperglycaemia patterns, such as hypoglycaemic episodes and unawareness or hyperglycaemic episodes.

Optimise therapy

The analysis of comprehensive data in graphical format facilitates rapid and accurate interpretations. You can optimize diabetes treatment in situations such as:

  • Evaluation of therapeutic changes to medication regimen (oral or insulin)
  • Evaluation of behavioral modifications affecting glycaemic control
  • Introduction of pump therapy
  • Multiple-injection therapy and adjustment of insulin dosage

Educate and empower your patients!

Education and learning is critical for people with diabetes. Guardian® RT helps to visualise the glycaemic level as a result of food intake, physical exercise, life style changes and other daily events.

Thanks this feedback, understanding and taking ownership of ones' own diabetes has never been easier.


General guidelines and indications

The Guardian® RT system is for all Type 1 or Type 2 people with diabetes who wish to reduce erratic blood sugar fluctuations and emergency situations [Ref 7].

It is particularly beneficial for the following patients:

  • Parents who are closely monitoring their child's diabetes
  • Patients who have lost their ability to detect rapid changes in blood sugar levels or whose mental sharpness is affected by rapidly changing glucose levels during work
  • Women with gestational diabetes, or who want to become pregnant
  • Anyone who has had an accident or close call caused by hypoglycaemia
