The Freestyle Libre 1 sensor from the Abbott laboratory lets you check your blood glucose (sugar) levels at any time, without having to prick yourself. It's as simple as scanning! Freestyle Libre 1 facilitates monitoring and eliminates the need for injections. It works by means of a sensor, the diameter of a two-euro coin, which is attached to the arm. It measures glucose levels in the liquid between blood capillaries and cells every minute, using a flexible needle. Once fitted, the sensor operates for up to two weeks. It can be kept on during sport, and because it's waterproof, it can be worn in the shower or during aquatic activities. In this way, it offers its wearer a great deal of freedom. Monitoring glucose levels is very important for diabetics. It's what enables diabetics to dose their insulin correctly. Blood glucose levels vary throughout the day, depending on a number of factors, such as the composition of meals and physical activity.
The FreeStyle Libre sensor is applied to the back of the upper arm by a disposable device called an applicator.
Clean the area with an alcohol-impregnated wipe
When applying the sensor, a fine sterile needle (5mm) is inserted just under the skin, and held in place by a small adhesive pad.
The sensor can be used to check glucose levels after 60 minutes
Scan the sensor:
To obtain glucose levels, simply scan the sensor: pass the reader over the sensor at a distance of less than 4 cm. The FreeStyle Libre system also features report-generating software to help analyze glucose data.
Get the result:
Each pass of the meter over the sensor gives the current glucose level, the glucose level history for the last 8 hours and a trend arrow indicating whether the glucose level is rising, falling or changing slowly.
