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.

The FreeStyle Libre Academy is a unique
resource committed to supporting you
and your patient to get the most from
the FreeStyle Libre system.

LEARN MORE

With every painless¹ scan the FreeStyle Libre reader or FreeStyle LibreLink app, displays the current glucose reading, the latest 8 hours of continuous glucose data and a trend arrow^θ showing if glucose levels are going up, down, or changing slowly.

Trend Arrows

Current glucose reading

Based on the most recently updated glucose value
(1 minute)

Trend arrow^θ

The trend arrow shows the direction glucose is heading, along with the rate of change

8-hour history

The graph is made up of 15-minute readings stored over the last 8 hours (every 15 minutes the sensor automatically stores glucose reading)

The Reader and app^◊ reports allow your patients to interpret their
glucose data and help make more informed diabetes
management decisions.

Uploading the data to LibreView,^∏,₼ our secure cloud-based system, enables patients to share their data
with you and their care team, so you can access more in-depth reports to support you to make
treatment decisions.
