The FreeStyle Libre 2 system
gives you peace of mind
because it helps manage your
diabetes with confidence.
It is the #1 sensor-based glucose
monitoring system used worldwide.2
Living with diabetes can be tough.
Knowing there's a risk of having a
hypoglycaemic episode can cause
huge stress, anxiety, and disruption
to normal life and sleep - not just
for the person with diabetes, but for
their family as well.3,4
Elise, a FreeStyle Libre 2 user,
says "It has made my hypo awareness
better. A huge benefit for me is that
I can use it on bike rides and on runs
without stopping."
Whilst finger prick monitoring
can help, many people don't test
as often as they should because it
can be painful and it's not always
convenient.3 Even with recommended
frequent testing, it's still easy to miss
important changes.5 And when your
levels are falling and you need to take
prompt action to avert a possible
hypo, every minute counts.
The FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor
provides real-time, minute-byminute monitoring
of glucose
levels. Any time of day6 that you
want to know your glucose levels,
anywhere7 you happen to be, you
can simply and quickly check your
smartphone11,8 for a complete picture
of essential information:
• Your current reading
• How your glucose levels have been
changing over the last 8 hours
• Trend arrow to tell If your current
levels are going up, staying steady,
or going down.
Optional real-time alarms on
your phone, and alerts on your
smartwatch8, mean that you know the
minute your sugar levels are too high
or too low.9
Johnny, one of our FreeStyle Libre
advocates. says, 'No matter how
hectic the day is going, I no longer
need to spare a few seconds to scan
and check my sugars, as they are
always available to me."
As long as your device is in range,
you'll get a notification if your glucose
levels go too high or too low, even
when you're asleep.10,11 For extra
security, your family's smartphones
can also receive readings and be
set for alarms.12 FreeStyle Libre 2
has outstanding accuracy in the
low glucose range.13 This means
that you can rely on the readings
to make appropriate insulin dosing
decisions and other day-to-day
therapy choices.14
The FreeStyle Libre 2 system
helps the user to increase their
'time in range'15, so glucose stays
within healthy levels, resulting in an
improved HbA1c16,17 and overall quality
of life.18
You can benefit by seeing
immediately how food, activity and
medication have impacted your sugar
levels over the preceding 8 hours. It
