Freestyle Libre 3 Sensor for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

 

The Freestyle Libre 3 sensor provides real-time glucose readings for people with diabetes, eliminating the need for routine finger prick tests. This small, wearable device continuously monitors your glucose levels for up to 14 days, sending readings directly to your smartphone or compatible device every minute.

You can track your glucose trends throughout the day and night, helping you make informed decisions about your diabetes management. The sensor is water-resistant and designed to stay securely attached during daily activities including showering, swimming, and exercise.

 

How the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Works

 

The sensor uses a thin, flexible filament that sits just under your skin to measure glucose in your interstitial fluid. Once applied to the back of your upper arm, it automatically begins taking glucose readings and transmitting them to the FreeStyle Libre 3 app on your smartphone.

You receive real-time glucose readings, trend arrows showing whether your levels are rising or falling, and customisable alarms for high and low glucose events. The system provides a complete picture of your glucose patterns without requiring you to scan the sensor manually.

 

Who Benefits from This Glucose Monitoring System

 

This continuous glucose monitoring technology is suitable for adults and children aged 4 years and over with diabetes who want to reduce finger prick testing. It's particularly beneficial for people who need frequent glucose monitoring or experience unpredictable glucose fluctuations.

The sensor is ideal for those who:

• Want to see real-time glucose trends and patterns
• Need overnight glucose monitoring
• Wish to reduce the frequency of finger prick tests
• Require customisable glucose alarms and alerts

Healthcare professionals often recommend continuous glucose monitoring for people with type 1 diabetes, insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, or those experiencing frequent hypoglycaemic episodes. You can explore our full range of diabetes monitoring solutions to find the right tools for your needs.

 

Why Choose Real-Time Glucose Monitoring

 

Unlike traditional blood glucose meters that provide single-point readings, this sensor offers continuous insights into your glucose levels. The real-time data helps you understand how food, exercise, medication, and stress affect your blood sugar throughout the day.

The system's minute-by-minute readings allow you to spot glucose trends before they become problematic, potentially preventing dangerous highs and lows. This proactive approach to diabetes management can lead to better glucose control and improved quality of life.

 

Clinical Accuracy and Storage Requirements

 

The sensor meets clinical accuracy standards for diabetes management and has been extensively tested in clinical studies. Each sensor is individually calibrated during manufacturing, so no user calibration is required once applied.

Store unopened sensors at room temperature between 4°C and 30°C. Do not freeze or expose to extreme temperatures. Each sensor has a 12-month shelf life from the date of manufacture when stored properly.
