Freestyle Libre
Freestyle Libre is a continuous glucose monitoring system designed for people with diabetes. It consists of a small sensor placed on the skin that measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid every minute. Users can scan the sensor with a handheld reader or smartphone to get real-time glucose readings, trends, and patterns. This technology helps individuals manage their blood sugar more effectively by providing insights that can inform their diet, exercise, and medication decisions, minimizing finger pricks and enhancing overall diabetes care.
