Abbott Freestyle Libre 2 Sensor Pack of 2 for diabetes monitoring CGM for UK, white

Product Information

But unlike Flash, some CGMs can ‘talk’ to an insulin pump, which is important if you want to use a closed loop system. Adults with type 2 diabetes in England or Wales who use insulin and would otherwise need help from a care worker or healthcare professional to monitor their blood sugar should be offered a flash glucose monitor. Whilst we know that every hour and every day is different, the Glucose Patterns Insights report in LibreView enables you to view your average day and estimated HbA1c at a glance. By providing customizable alarms for low glucose and high glucose, the FreeStyle Libre 2 system offers a simple, user-friendly alarm experience.

Long lasting: The sensor Can be worn for up to 14 days, so you don't have to change it as often as other CGM systems. If you’ve been self-funding your tech, what did you notice about your diabetes management before, during and after using the device? You may find wearing the sensor irritating, you might not like the look of it, or showing people that you have diabetes.

Travelling abroad with a CGM

How often you have to change the sensor will depend on the type of model you’re using and the manufacturer’s instructions. You’ll usually need to change it at least once every 14 days. Pregnant Women and Dialysis: Skip using it if you're pregnant or on dialysis. The sensor's not tested on them. And if you've got stuff like pacemakers, don't use this sensor. Data on file, Abbott Diabetes Care. Data based on the number of users worldwide for the FreeStyle Libre systems compared to the number of users for other leading personal use sensor based glucose monitoring systems. Notifications will only be received when alarms are turned on and the sensor is within 20ft of the reading device. Flash should also be prescribed as an alternative if a child and their family present a clear preference for it, or it meets their needs better than CGM.

Integrated care boards (ICBs) replaced clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in the NHS in England in July 2022. Why the upper arm: It is flat, so the sensor stays put. It has good blood flow, which helps with readings. And the skin is thin, so inserting the sensor is easier.
