BGM vs CGM

Understand the lag between FreeStyle Libre (CGM) and BGM

  • Blood glucose monitoring (BGM) captures single moments in time
  • FreeStyle Libre helps you see your glucose levels over time

** Sensor is water resistant in up to 1 meter (3 feet) of water. Do not immerse longer than 30 minutes. †† Finger pricks are required if glucose readings and alarms do not match symptoms or expectations. Data on File. Abbott Diabetes Care. # The FreeStyle Libre reader can capture data from within 1cm to 4cm of the sensor, even through clothing. § Sensor dimensions: 35mm x 5mm Weight: 5 grams. ^ Based on the number of users worldwide for the FreeStyle Libre portfolio compared to the number of users for other leading personal use sensor-based glucose monitoring systems.
