Personal
Your Guardian REAL-Time system provides real-time glucose values so that you can track glucose
concentration patterns and possibly identify episodes of low and high blood glucose. It also stores glucose
data so that it can be analyzed to track patterns and/or downloaded to CareLink Personal for analysis of
historical glucose values.
CareLink Personal is a web-based system designed to help you manage your diabetes. It has many key
features:
• It copies (uploads) data from your devices: monitor and supported blood glucose meters.
• Device data is stored on a centralized database.
• There is an online logbook where you can record self-reported information, such as how many
carbohydrates you consumed
• Uploaded data and other information stored on the system can be viewed through several different
types of treatment reports.
• Access to data and personal information on this system is secure.
Reports
Reports show you data gathered from your device uploads, and from what you directly entered into the
system. Examples of the report data you can get include:
• Monitor operation
• Insulin delivery rates, types and times.
• Blood glucose reading levels and times.
• Sensor glucose reading levels and times.
Reports are displayed in PDF format. They can be viewed online, saved, or printed.
