APPLY THE SENSOR

The FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor is applied on to the back of the upper arm with a simple, disposable device called an applicator. When the sensor is applied, a thin, flexible and sterile fibre is inserted just under the skin. In a study conducted by Abbott Diabetes Care, 92% of patients surveyed (n=119) agree/strongly agree that applying the sensor is less painful3 than a finger prick†.

2

SCAN SENSOR

To obtain a glucose reading, simply perform a quick, painless 1-second scan3 of the FreeStyle LibreLink app◊ over the sensor. This scan gives you more information than monitoring with blood glucose test strips, without the need for routine finger pricks†. The FreeStyle Libre 2 system also offers LibreView to generate concise reports to assist with the analysis of glucose data.₼

3

GET READING

Each scan of the sensor gives a current glucose reading, the last 8-hours of glucose history, and a trend arrow showing if glucose is going up, down, or changing slowly.

Optional alarms will also let you know when your glucose readings are too high or too low.

NO MORE ROUTINE FINGER PRICKS†

Unlike traditional blood glucose monitoring, you can get your glucose reading without painful3 finger pricks with the FreeStyle Libre 2 system.†

Additionally, the FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor is made by a process which means the sensitivity of the sensors vary very little. This means that it is calibrated at the factory - so you don’t need to calibrate it again using a finger prick.†

It continuously measures the glucose concentration in your interstitial fluid, and stores 8 hours of data.

WATER-RESISTANT₸

The FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor can be worn for up to 14 days whilst you shower, bathe, swim₸, exercise or play.

 

  

TRADITIONAL BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING OR FLASH GLUCOSE MONITORING?

 

Finger prick blood glucose readings and sensor glucose readings won’t always match and in fact are likely to be different.

Sensor glucose readings come from the interstitial fluid (ISF), a thin layer of fluid that surrounds the cells of the tissues below your skin.

The FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor glucose reading may lag behind a finger prick blood glucose reading by about 2.1 minutes for children and about 2.4 minutes for adults.1

 

NOW WITH OPTIONAL GLUCOSE ALARMS

With glucose alarms, rest assured you’ll know when you’re too high or too low

ALARM

Receive an alarm when your glucose is too low or too high**

SCAN

Scan your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor to see your glucose reading, trend arrow, and 8-hour history

ACT

Use the information to take appropriate action as needed

Note: If you want to receive glucose alarms on your phone, you must scan the FreeStyle LibreLink app first, not the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader. Once you scan your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with your selected device, phone or FreeStyle Libre 2 reader, you can receive alarms only on that device.
