How to Apply the Sensor

Apply and activate your FreeStyle Libre sensor

Prepare the skin and apply your FreeStyle Libre sensor

1. Clean and dry the back of your upper arm where you will apply the sensor

Avoid areas with scars, moles, stretch marks or lumps. Select an area of skin that generally stays flat during your normal daily activities with no bending or folding. Choose a site that is at least 2.5cm (1”) away from an insulin injection site.

An alcohol wipe is a good way of cleaning the skin, but make sure you’re not using a moisturising alcohol wipe as this will prevent the sensor from sticking properly. Make sure you fully dry your skin before applying the sensor.


The sensor kit comes in two parts: the sensor applicator and the sensor pack.

2. Peel the lid completely off the sensor pack and unscrew the cap from the sensor applicator.

Caution: Do not use if the sensor pack or the sensor applicator seem to be damaged or already opened. Do not use if past expiration date.

3. Attach the sensor applicator to the sensor pack.

Place the sensor application into the open sensor pack. Line up the dark mark on the applicator with the mark on the pack and press down firmly on the sensor applicator until it comes to a stop.

4. Apply the sensor to your pre-cleaned section of skin on the back of your upper arm.

Place the sensor applicator over the site you cleaned and push down firmly until the sensor is in place. Finally, make sure the sensor is secure.
