Let's simplify glucose management
Glucose monitoring is an essential part of patients’ diabetes management, but the pain and inconvenience of finger prick testing doesn’t make it easy1. By lowering the barriers to glucose monitoring, you can simplify diabetes management and enhance your patients’ care and outcomes.
Liberate patients from the hassles of glucose monitoring with the easy-to-use FreeStyle Libre 2 system2 – consistent accuracy3 for 14 days with optional alarms, eliminating routine finger pricks†
Sensor is water resistant in up to 1 metre (3 feet) of water. Do not immerse longer than 30 minutes.
In a survey of 12,000 FreeStyle Libre users*
Tap below to discover how the FreeStyle Libre 2 system is helping to improve diabetes care compared with finger prick testing5-9
- 2 in 3 diabetes patients skip finger prick testing5
- Finger pricks only provide snapshots of glucose levels6
- Finger prick testing can miss night-time hypos6
- >30% of diabetes patients miss their HbA1c target7
3 in 4 of surveyed users were scanning at least 8 times a day4
Finger prick testing causes anxiety in around 1 in 3 diabetes patients8, while two thirds find it invasive to their lives5. By enabling patients to monitor glucose easily and without the pain of finger prick testing, the FreeStyle Libre 2 system simplifies glucose monitoring and minimises disruption to patients’ lives†.
The 14-day FreeStyle Libre 2 system captures glucose readings every minute, day and night.
Frequently capturing glucose readings day and night, the FreeStyle Libre 2 system gives added dimension to glucose monitoring that makes it easier to spot hidden fluctuations and trendsΦ.
The FreeStyle Libre system reduced nocturnal hypoglycaemia by 52% compared to baseline (p=0.0002)9.
(Time spent with glucose <3.9 mmol/L 23:00-06:00 at 12 months9)
With the FreeStyle Libre 2 system the majority of patients chose to use the optional alarms to alert them if their glucose was too high or low (56%)4.
Since using the FreeStyle Libre system, around 60% of patients reported that they'd noticed improvements in HbA1c4
In our survey of over 12,000 people with diabetes, 59% of FreeStyle Libre users have seen better HbA1c results since starting the FreeStyle Libre system4.
When 85% (7907/9329) of surveyed users would never go back to routine finger pricks4, what does it tell you about the way your patients feel about glucose testing?

*The survey of 13,088 patients was conducted on both FreeStyle Libre users and FreeStyle Libre
2
users.
† Finger pricks are required if glucose readings and alarms do not match symptoms
or expectations.
Φ For a complete glycaemic picture, users need to scan the sensor once
every 8 hours.
