With the FreeStyle Libre 2 system.

The FreeStyle Libre 2 system:
  • Easy to use2

    A quick glance 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 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
