A useful feature of the Guardian® REAL-Time System is the ability to CAPTURE EVENTS.
This is especially important when uploading your Guardian information to CareLink™ Software
for review. By capturing events like meals, manual BG readings, bolus doses of insulin, and
exercise, you can start to see and understand the effects that these events have on your blood
sugar levels.
Go to:
HoMe Screen > Main Menu > capture event
