How to insert the Medtronic Diabetes Guardian 3 Sensor.
In this video I show how I insert the Medtronic Guardian 3 Continuous Glucose Monitor Sensor in my upper arm, just above my triceps.
In 2018, a Medtronic rep taught me that wearing the sensor on the upper arm gave it a better chance of staying intact for a longer period of time AND would likely give me better readings as a result. I've worn the sensor on my arm ever since and experienced great success.
It can be tricky to do this on your own, so if you are trying an arm site for the first time, ask a friend, partner or parent to give you an assist.
