Sensor-based Glucose Monitoring is a technology that allows people with diabetes to easily know their glucose levels and where they're heading without finger pricks.†
The sensors are small, unobtrusive, and easily applied to the back of the upper arm1. The sensors come with an applicator and use a small, flexible tip that is inserted just under the skin.
The sensor measures glucose readings through the whole 14 day wear period.
Start your sensor using the FreeStyle LibreLink app◊ to monitor your glucose levels on your smartphone.
If you're using a FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor, you can also receive optional alarms to let you know the minute your glucose is too high or too low.¤
