a. In a study conducted by Abbott Diabetes Care, 92% of patients surveyed (n=119) patients agree that it was painless or almost painless to apply the sensor2.
b. Reader dimensions 95 mm x 60 mm x 16 mm and weight 65 grams1.
c. The reader can capture data from the sensor when it is within 1 cm to 4 cm of the sensor1.
d. For a complete glycemic picture scan once every 8 hours1.
e. 60-minute warm-up required when applying the sensor1.
f. Sensor is water resistant in up to 1 meter (3 feet) of water Do not immerse longer than 30 minutes. Not to be used above 10,000 feet1.
g. Finger pricks are required if glucose readings do not match symptoms or expectations1.
h. In a study conducted by Abbott Diabetes Care, 97% of patients surveyed (n=123) agree /strongly agree getting glucose readings from the FreeStyle Libre system would not interrupt their daily activities2.
