With the FreeStyle Libre 2 system.

The FreeStyle Libre 2 system:

  • Easy to use1

    A painless,3 1-second scan shows a patient’s current glucose reading, an 8-hour history, and a trend arrow indicating where their glucose is heading

  • Discreet

    The sensor is small and can be easily applied3 to the back of the upper arm, scanned discreetly through clothing,§ and is comfortable to wear3 for up to 14 days

  • Optional glucose alarms

    Real-time alarms let patients know the minute their glucose is too low or too high – even when they’re sleeping – so they can take action
