Setting up CGM
■ Setting up CGM Setting up CGM This chapter explains how to pair your pump and transmitter, enter your sensor settings, and set up CGM on your pump. You need the following: • MiniMed 770G insulin pump • Sensor glucose (SG) settings provided by your healthcare professional • Guardian Sensor (3) • Guardian Link (3) transmitter with Bluetooth wireless technology kit WARNING: Do not make therapy treatment decisions based on sensor glucose values.
• It gives you additional tools to help you prevent high and low glucose levels. Note: If you lose sensor functionality, you will no longer have access to CGM features. For details on restoring sensor functionality, see Troubleshooting sensor issues, on page 288. SG readings and BG meter readings are not the same. SmartGuard Technology SmartGuard technology automatically adjusts insulin delivery based on your SG values. SmartGuard technology can be used in two modes: Manual Mode and Auto Mode.
To learn more about: Go to this section: How SmartGuard Auto Mode works. About SmartGuard Auto Mode, on page 219. To set up the SmartGuard suspend features, see Setting up the low SG settings, on page 195. ■ Home screen with CGM in Manual Mode Note: To see the Home screen in Auto Mode, see Home screen with SmartGuard Auto Mode, on page 225. status icons 9:00 AM high limit trend arrows 165 sensor graph mg/dL 0.5 U low limit SG reading SmartGuard suspend icon Act.
Item Description Calibration icon The calibration icon indicates the approximate time left until your next sensor calibration is due. The calibration icon appears only when the Sensor feature is turned on. The color and the circle around the icon indicate the status. When your sensor is fully calibrated, the icon has a solid green circle around it.
Item Description Auto Mode Readiness icon The Auto Mode Readiness icon indicates whether your pump is ready to enter Auto Mode. The icon appears with a loading symbol when the pump is updating a condition that requires you to wait. The icon appears with a question mark when the pump requires an ■ action from you to enter Auto Mode. For more information about Auto Mode Readiness, see SmartGuard Auto Mode Readiness, on page 223. 135 mg/dL appears in the center of your Home screen.
Item Description SmartGuard suspend icon The SmartGuard suspend icon appears only when either the Suspend before low or Suspend on low feature is set to on. For details on SmartGuard technology, see SmartGuard Technology, on page 172. The SmartGuard suspend icon indicates the current status of the suspend features, as follows: • The icon is a white arrow with a dotted red line when either the Suspend on low or Suspend before low is turned on and ready.

For details on low alerts and suspend options, see Low SG settings, on page 178.
High Description glucose setting High limit Your high limit is the value your other high SG settings are based on. Your high limit can be set from 100 to 400 mg/dL. You can set a different high limit for up to eight time segments throughout the day or night. Alert before high When Alert before high is on, the pump alert tells you any time the SG is predicted to reach the high limit. This makes you aware of potential highs before they occur.
The following graph shows the different low SG settings you can use: Suspend before low Alert before low ■ Suspend on low Alert on low SG readings Low Limit Setting up CGM Low SG alert and suspend settings WARNING: Suspend before low and Suspend on low are not intended to be a treatment for low blood glucose. Having insulin suspended when glucose is low may not bring your blood glucose back to your target range for several hours. In that case, you run the risk of hypoglycemia.
If you turn on Suspend before low, then Alert on low is automatically turned on. You also have the option to turn on Alert before low. • If Alert before low is on, your pump alerts you when insulin delivery is suspended. For details, see Alert before low, on page 182. • If Alert before low is off, then Suspend before low appears on the screen, but the pump will not beep or vibrate when insulin delivery is suspended.
Suspend before low conditions When a Suspend before low event occurs, all insulin delivery is suspended. A Suspend before low event occurs in the following situations: • Your SG value is at or within 70 mg/dL above your low limit. • Your SG is predicted to reach or fall below a level that is 20 mg/dL above your low limit within approximately 30 minutes. ■ Responding to a Suspend before low event flashes and "Suspended before low" appears on your Home screen.
When the SmartGuard suspend features are unavailable, the SmartGuard suspend icon on the Home screen appears as a gray cross . When a Suspend before low event occurs and you respond within two hours and: • Stay suspended for the two-hour maximum suspend time, the SmartGuard suspend features will be unavailable for 30 minutes after your basal insulin delivery resumes.
• If Suspend on low is on, and Alert before low is on, you receive an Alert before low 30 minutes before you reach your low limit. • If Suspend before low is on, and Alert before low is on, you receive a Suspend before low alert when insulin delivery is suspended. For details, see SmartGuard Suspend before low, on page 179. You can also choose to have the Alert before low off.
WARNING: Always confirm your sensor glucose readings with your BG meter and treat according to the recommendations of your healthcare professional. The Suspend on low feature uses the sensor glucose value, not your blood glucose value, to automatically suspend your pump. Your pump may automatically suspend when your sensor glucose is at or below the low limit, while your blood glucose is above that limit.
Note: The maximum amount of time the Suspend on low feature will be unavailable is four hours. After this time period, the Suspend on low feature automatically enables. When the SmartGuard suspend features are unavailable, the SmartGuard suspend icon on the Home screen appears gray .
When Alert on low is set to on, you receive an alert when your SG reading reaches or falls below your low limit. If your pump is suspended and you have not responded, an emergency message appears. Automatically resuming basal delivery after a SmartGuard suspend event In addition to suspending insulin delivery, the pump can also automatically resume delivery of basal insulin.

Example 3: Suspend before low, responsive, stays suspended Doug has just finished his evening jog on the beach. As he is walking home, he receives a Suspend before low alert. He sees that his pump has automatically suspended his insulin delivery. Doug clears the alert by selecting OK on his pump. He knows that his pump is now suspended and insulin delivery has been stopped. He checks his BG to confirm and keeps his insulin suspended.
20 mg/dL above Low Limit START STOP Low Limit 2 hours Michael has responded to his alert. The pump will suspend insulin delivery and alarm again if his sensor value reaches or falls below his low limit again.
