Guardian Monitor Reviews

It worked one day then stopped now it won’t let me log in again

I hope this is an easy fix and I can change this up from 1-star. But, I can’t login because my account requires me to enter a code sent to my cellphone. GuardianMonitor doesn’t allow for this and…..I’m stuck.

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

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

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 GuardianMonitor . I’m so frustrated and at my wit’s end.

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.

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

I've been so disappointed for so long with Medtronic's woeful app development. Guardian Monitor adds features that I've been hoping for.

Being able to see my CGM data on my watch as a complication is so appreciated, thank you!

Finally an option to work with Medtronic! Thank you!

A few suggestions :

A longer snooze for highs (my son only corrects every 2 hours for his highs)

Allow us to turn on the High and Low alarms independently. I help my son catch lows but he manages his highs. I would love to turn on low and predicted low only :)

A smaller widget :)

This is fantastic! Thank you!

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.

I never write reviews about apps, but I have been waiting for YEARS for this. So I’m compelled to share.

It’s been less than 20 minutes with GuardianMonitor and it has saved me from switching pump companies.

I’ve got it on my Apple Watch with a small widget on the Home Screen and it’s perfect. Exactly what I want/need.

Can’t thank you enough for doing this. MDT should pay you for designing it. I don’t want to tag them in case GuardianMonitor violates some stupid legal rule.

I love it. Thank you.

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 GuardianMonitor 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 GuardianMonitor , 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.

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 GuardianMonitor, 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 GuardianMonitor 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.

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. GuardianMonitor 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.

Can’t seem to log in keeps giving me error codes and when I try to log in to many times I am email saying I’m logged out

So happy to have an app for my watch!
Now need assistance… I cannot download the widget! Help!

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.

I was thrilled when I learned of an app to see my blood glucose on my Apple Watch 7, and I am not disappointed. Kacper Rychlinski has done the T1D community a great service. Innovations such as this are how we move forward and achieve an ever-improving quality of life.
