(NYSE: MDT) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Guardian® REAL-Time System, a doctor-prescribed continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system for improved diabetes management.  Especially well suited for diabetes patients who frequently monitor their glucose levels, the Guardian REAL-Time System is intended to help protect patients by alerting users to high and low glucose levels.  The REAL-Time information and retrospective glucose trend data provided by the Guardian REAL-Time System are designed to help patients more tightly control glucose levels.  Improved glucose control has been shown to significantly reduce the likelihood of certain long-term complications, including blindness, kidney failure, amputation, impotence, and heart disease.  The system will be available nationwide by the end of this year.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://wwwp.medtronic.com/Newsroom/NewsReleaseDetails.do?itemId=1152884580852&lang=en_US"></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/947DA02C-936F-4E10-93EF-18C9E59472B2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
