If you were told a decade ago that you could monitor your blood sugar levels just by scanning your arm—would you have believed it? Probably not!
Monitoring blood glucose has seen incredible advancements over the years. From testing glucose in urine to the latest innovation, Abbott FreeStyle Libre Pro, the process has become simpler, faster, and completely hassle-free.
With this system, all you need to do is scan a reader over the sensor worn on the back of your upper arm to check your glucose levels—no finger pricks required!
“The days of routine glucose testing with test strips, lancets, and blood are over.”
The Abbott FreeStyle Libre system frees you from the hassles of routine finger-prick testing. All you need to do is scan the reader over the sensor to check your glucose levels instantly.
The FreeStyle Libre sensor continuously estimates glucose levels through a tiny, 5.5mm-long fibre placed just under the skin and secured with an adhesive pad. Each scan gives you a 24×7 picture of your glucose trends for up to 14 days, eliminating the need for painful daily testing or calibration.
This revolutionary device empowers people with diabetes to make better decisions regarding diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle.
The biggest advantage of using the Abbott FreeStyle Libre is that you no longer need to prick your finger multiple times a day.
Here are more benefits of this smart glucose monitoring system:
The sensor automatically measures and stores glucose readings day and night, allowing you to track your sugar levels effortlessly and without pain.
In short: no pain, only gain!
Each scan provides your current glucose reading, 8 hours of glucose data, and a trend arrow showing where your glucose is heading.
This helps users take timely precautions to prevent sugar spikes or dips.
You can get a painless, one-second scan even through your clothing. That means you can check your glucose levels anytime, anywhere—comfortably and privately.
The FreeStyle Libre system is water-resistant and can be worn while bathing, showering, swimming, or exercising. You don’t need to remove it for daily activities.
With just three simple steps, you can use Abbott FreeStyle Libre and manage your diabetes with ease.
Attach the sensor to the back of your upper arm using the provided applicator.
A painless, one-second scan is all it takes to view your glucose readings.
View your current glucose reading, the last eight hours of data, and a trend arrow that shows where your glucose is heading—valid for up to 14 days.
