The FreeStyle Libre System

The FreeStyle Libre system eliminates the need for painful routine finger pricks^† offering an easy way to check glucose with a painless 1-second scan¹ even through clothing.^Ω

The small, discreet¹ Sensor worn on the back of the 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 your patients shower, swim or exercise.^₸

People with diabetes can use the FreeStyle Libre reader or FreeStyle LibreLink app^◊ to scan their Sensor and receive their glucose levels. For a complete glycaemic picture, users must scan every 8 hours.

How the FreeStyle Libre System works

In 3 simple steps, your patient can get their glucose readings.

Step 1 - Apply

The sensor is applied on the back of the arm using the applicator. Most FreeStyle Libre system users have reported that applying the sensor was painless¹

Step 2 - Scan

With the FreeStyle Libre reader or FreeStyle LibreLink app^◊, the user will scan their sensor to see their glucose readings

Step 3 - Read

The user will see their current glucose reading, 8-hours of data and a trend arrow^θ that shows where their glucose is heading.
