FREESTYLE LIBRE FLASH GLUCOSE MONITORING SYSTEM

General Information
Freestyle have produced a product that measures glucose levels for diabetes from interstitial fluid (fluid around the cells) rather than blood itself.  It can measure your glucose levels continuously and reduce the need for regular finger prick testing.

Health Claims/Benefits
  • For use in diabetes
  • Continuous glucose monitoring for up to 14 days
  • The Reader records current glucose levels, the latest 8 hours of glucose readings and the current trend of glucose levels

Warnings
  • A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels, or if hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia is reported or the symptoms do not match the system readings.

How To Use
  • The sensor is placed on the arm and has a probe that is inserted under the skin.
  • The probe can be left for 14 days.
  • A reader is provided which scans the sensor and provides data on glucose readings that can be used to tailor your insulin requirements.
