How can Medtronics iPro2 Professional
CGM benefit your patients?

E

ven patients
with acceptable
HbA1c levels can
experience glycaemic
variability. Continuous
glucose monitoring
(CGM) provides more
complete information –
so you can make
confident decisions:
• CGM measures
glucose levels 24/7,
recording a new
value every five
minutes – revealing
hyperglycaemia,
hypoglycaemia, and patterns otherwise missed.
• Helps you and your patients understand how glucose levels are
affected by sleep, meals, activity, and medication throughout the
day.

• According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), CGM is particularly valuable in detecting
both un­
recognised nocturnal hypoglycaemia and postprandial
hyperglycaemia.

The iPro2 System makes starting CGM simple

• Glucose variability, in combination with HbA1c, may be a more
reliable indicator of blood glucose control and the risk of long-term
complications than HbA1c alone.
• CGM can be associated with reducing HbA1c without increasing
the risk of hypoglycaemia versus finger stick testing alone.

• Fewer steps to get patients set up.
• Convenient and flexible with no computer needed to start.

See patient benefits that finger stick and HbA1c
testing alone may not expose
• Be aware of glycaemic excursions that HbA1c averages may not
show – especially nocturnal hypoglycaemia.
• Act on glucose patterns that finger stick measurements may not
reveal.
• Gain insights that can lead to better diabetes management.
