Medtronic™ Guardian™ Sensor 3 – Inserting Sensor into Upper Arm

In this video you will learn how to insert the Guardian™ Sensor 3 into Upper Arm. NOTE: Assistance may be needed for sensor insertion into the back of the upper arm. Some users found it difficult to insert the sensor into the arm by themselves. IMPORTANT: All Guardian™ Sensor 3 tapes and adhesives stick best when you continue to apply pressure after putting them on your skin. Doing so helps the sensor stay securely placed and fully inserted. WARNING: Sensor glucose (SG) is not the same as blood glucose. Your SG and BG readings will be close to one another but will rarely match exactly. Do not make treatment decisions, such as determining your insulin dose for meals, using the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) values, as they are not intended to be used to make such treatment decisions. CGM does not replace a blood glucose measurement. Always use the values from your blood glucose meter for treatment decisions. Blood glucose values may differ from sensor glucose values. Using the sensor glucose readings for treatment decisions could lead to high or low blood glucose.
