Freestyle Libre Two Plus Sensor

Freestyle Libre 2 Sensor for Continuous Glucose Monitoring

The Freestyle Libre 2 sensor provides continuous glucose monitoring for people with diabetes, offering real-time glucose readings without the need for routine finger prick tests. This small, waterproof sensor attaches to the back of your upper arm and continuously measures glucose levels in your tissue fluid for up to 14 days.

You can check your glucose levels by scanning the sensor with the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or compatible smartphone app. The system also includes optional alarms that can alert you when your glucose levels are too high or too low, helping you manage your diabetes more effectively alongside your diabetes monitoring routine.

How the Sensor Technology Works

The sensor uses a thin, flexible filament that sits just under your skin to measure glucose in your interstitial fluid. This measurement correlates closely with blood glucose levels, providing accurate readings throughout the day and night.

Each scan takes less than one second and provides your current glucose reading, an eight-hour glucose history, and a trend arrow showing whether your glucose is rising, falling, or staying steady. The sensor stores up to eight hours of data, so you won't lose information even if you don't scan regularly.

Who Should Consider This Monitoring System

This continuous glucose monitoring system 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 those who experience unpredictable glucose fluctuations.

• People with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes requiring intensive glucose monitoring
• Those who want to reduce the frequency of finger prick blood tests
• Individuals seeking better understanding of their glucose patterns
• People who need overnight glucose monitoring without disrupting sleep

Why Choose Waterproof Design

The sensor's waterproof design means you can wear it whilst showering, swimming, or exercising without compromising its function. The adhesive is designed to stay secure for the full 14-day wear period, even during physical activities or in humid conditions.

The compact size and discreet profile make it comfortable to wear under clothing, and the sensor automatically starts working one hour after application. No calibration with finger prick tests is required during normal use.

Clinical Accuracy and Storage Requirements

Clinical studies have demonstrated that the FreeStyle Libre 2 system provides accurate glucose readings that correlate well with blood glucose measurements. The sensor should be stored at room temperature and applied using the provided applicator for proper insertion.

Each sensor is individually packaged and sterile until opened. Once applied, the sensor begins a one-hour warm-up period before providing readings. The system is designed to work reliably throughout the 14-day wear period without requiring replacement or maintenance.
