Summary of the types of CGMS currently available

Real time systems display results for the user to see and sound alarms when blood sugars are too high or too low.  There are three real-time systems available in the U.S.:

--  Two two non-integrated, "real time" CGMS available: The Guardian RT and the DexCom STS CGMS; and

--  One integrated real-time system (MiniMed Paradigm REAL-Time System).

There is one more CGMS, the MiniMed Gold CGMS, which is not a real-time system and is intended for diagnostic purposes as requested by a doctor.
