Medtronic on iPhone: Guardian Monitor and CareLink

No maintained Guardian Monitor setup is verified here. Use the current Pro Connect CareLink workflow for eligible accounts with fresh source data.

This route needs a different setup. The guide below explains the available alternatives.

Guardian Monitor and older Medtronic uploader routes

The previous guide chooser offered Guardian Monitor and older phone-uploader paths. A maintained, version-specific Guardian Monitor setup was not verified for this replacement guide. Do not interpret the old choice as a compatibility guarantee.

For eligible accounts with live CareLink data, follow Pro Connect CareLink setup. It includes the secure browser authentication, manual fallback and a clear success check. Confirm the pump, sensor, app and country when a new combination is involved.

Existing xDrip+ installation

If xDrip+ already has current Medtronic readings, its Nightscout upload steps apply. This does not establish support for old USB/OTG uploader hardware, pump firmware or a new sensor connection.

If the device cannot use the current path

Send support the exact pump and sensor models, source app/version, country and whether CareLink shows live readings or only uploaded reports. Keep the currently working manufacturer monitoring arrangement. Support can assess the specific route; repeated authentication cannot add live data that the source does not expose.
