Why prick, when you can scan?1
The FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system is designed to liberate patients from the hassles of glucose monitoring4.
What isit?
The FreeStyle Libre system is accurate, stable and consistent over 14 days without the need for finger pricking1,2or calibrations5.
How does it work?
To obtain a glucose reading, simply perform a quick, painless61-second scan of your readerover the FreeStyle Libre sensor.
This easy scan gives you more information without the need for finger pricking1,2.
How is it used?
The FreeStyle Libre sensor is water-resistant7 and can be worn while bathing, showering, swimming or exercising.
Glucose information at a glance
The FreeStyle Libre sensor continuously measures glucose every minute and saves the glucose data. Scan the sensor at least every 8 hours for a full glycemic profile. The below data is displayed after a typical 1-second scan of the FreeStyle Libre reader via the sensor:
-
Glucose trend arrow
Easy to spot ups, downs and night-time lows and see which way and how quickly glucose levels are changing.
-
Current glucose reading
You can get your current glucose reading by an easy scan of the FreeStyle Libre sensor.
-
Food and insulin notes
Easy to add notes to track food, insulin use, exercise, and other events.
-
8-hour glucose history
Get the last 8 hours of glucose data.
The days of glucose testing with lancets, test strips and blood are over. Welcome to flash glucose monitoring!
No more routine finger pricks1
A painless6 1-second scan to get glucose levels.
Water-resistant7 sensor
Worn for up to 1 days whilst you shower, bathe, swim or exercise.
Convenient
Automatically captures glucose readings, making it easy to see ups, downs and night-time lows8.
Simple and discreet
Scan as often as you even, even scans through clothing9.
Rich Insights
With every scan you get your current glucose reading, the last 8 hours of glucose data, and an arrow showing the direction your glucose is heading10– giving you a full glycemic picture.
How does flash glucose monitoring work?
Blood glucose meters take glucose readings from capillary blood with a finger prick. Flash glucose monitoring systems are different. Scanning the FreeStyle Libre sensor with a phone or the reader measures the glucose levels from the interstitial fluid, a thin layer of fluid that surrounds the cells of the tissues in your skin.
