Indications and Important Safety Information
The FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device with real-time alarms capability indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age 4 and older.**
WARNINGS/LIMITATIONS**: The System must not be used with automated insulin dosing (AID) systems, including closed-loop and insulin suspend systems. Remove the sensor before MRI, CT scan, X-ray, or diathermy treatment. Do not take high
doses of vitamin C (more than 500 mg per day), as this may falsely raise your sensor readings. Failure to use the System according to the instructions for use may result in missing severe low blood glucose or high blood glucose event and/or making a treatment decision that may result in injury. If glucose alarms and readings from the System do not match symptoms or expectations, use a fingerstick blood glucose value to make diabetes treatment decisions. Seek medical attention when appropriate and contact Abbott toll-free 855-632-8658 or visit ** www.FreeStyleLibre.us for detailed indications for use and safety information.

What is it?
The freestyle libre 2 system flash glucose monitoring system sensor is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system consisting of a smartphone app‡ or a handheld reader and a glucose sensor worn on the back of the upper arm.
How does it work?
The sensor uses a thin, flexible filament inserted just under the skin to measure glucose levels every minute.
How do you use it?
Use your smartphone‡ or handheld reader to scan the glucose sensor with a painless,1 one-second scan to replace fingersticks.†
The FreeStyle Libre 2 system reader
Each painless,1 one-second scan shows:
Want to trade in routine fingersticks† for continuous data points?
Use the handheld reader or smartphone‡ to scan the sensor as often as you like, even through clothing.II
Reporting capability Stores 90 days of glucose data. Downloading data from the FreeStyle Libre 2 day system to the LibreView¶ software allows for even more in-depth analysis of your glucose data.
Sensor Glucose Readings
The Sensor Glucose Readings screen appears after you use the reader or smartphone‡ to scan your sensor. Your reading includes your current glucose reading, a glucose trend arrow indicating which way your glucose is headed.
and a graph showing your 8 hour glucose history.
Daily Patterns
A graph showing the pattern and variability of your sensor glucose over a typical day. The thick black line shows the midpoint of your glucose readings. The gray shading represents a range of your sensor readings.
Note: Daily Patterns needs at least 5 days of glucose data.
Low Glucose Events
This view provides information about the number of low glucose events measured by your sensor. The total number of events is displayed above the graph. The bar graph displays the low glucose events in four different 6-hour periods of the day. Use the arrows to view your glucose data collected over the last 7, 14, 30, or 90 days. Low glucose events are recorded when glucose readings are lower than 70 mg/dL for longer than 15 minutes.
Time In Target
Shows the percentage of time your sensor readings were above, below, and within your target glucose range.††
Visual Alerts
If your glucose reading is rapidly changing, below 70 mg/dL.
or projected to be below 70 mg/dL, or if there is no glucose number or trend arrow, you will see a visual alert, the Check Blood Glucose symbol. When you see this symbol, do a blood glucose test before making treatment decisions.
