Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System

 

The FreeStyle Libre 2 system eliminates the need for painful routine finger pricks offering an easy way to check glucose with a painless1 1-second scan even through clothingΩ. Now with optional alarms to let you know when your glucose is too high or too low.

The small, discreet sensor worn on the back of the upper arm continuously measures the glucose concentration in the body’s interstitial fluid. It is worn for up to 14 days and is water-resistant so continues to work while you shower, swim or exercise.

You can use the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or FreeStyle LibreLink app to scan your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor and receive your glucose levels and alarms. For a complete glycaemic picture, you must scan your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor every 8 hours.
