Sensor How It Works

• APPLY THE SENSOR

The FreeStyle Libre 14-Day Sensor applies easily to the back of your upper arm using a simple, disposable applicator. During application, a thin, flexible, and sterile fiber inserts just under the skin. A small adhesive pad holds it in place.

• SCAN SENSOR

To obtain a glucose reading, simply perform a quick, painless 1-second scan of the reader over the sensor. This scan gives you more information than monitoring with blood glucose test strips, without the need for routine finger pricks². The FreeStyle Libre system also offers optional FreeStyle Libre software to generate concise reports to assist with the analysis of glucose data.

• GET READING

Each scan of the reader over 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. The reader can scan through clothing³.

NO MORE ROUTINE FINGER PRICKS²

Unlike traditional glucose monitoring, using the FreeStyle Libre sensor does not involve routine finger pricks².

The FreeStyle Libre sensor is factory calibrated – so you don’t need to calibrate it again.

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

WATER RESISTANT¹

The FreeStyle Libre Sensor can be worn for up to 14 days whilst you shower, bathe, swim¹, exercise or play.

TRADITIONAL GLUCOSE TESTING, OR FLASH GLUCOSE MONITORING?

Finger prick² glucose readings and sensor glucose readings won’t always match and in fact are likely to be different⁵.

ALLOWS REGULAR MONITORING

You can take as many glucose readings as you want whilst the sensor is being worn – it even scans through clothes³.

Due to the sensor storing the latest 8 hours of continuous data, you only need a minimum of three scans per day to obtain a full 24 hour glycaemic profile⁴ – enabling you to make more informed decisions about your diabetes management.
