Unlike traditional blood glucose monitoring (BGM) or fingersticks, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices—such as those in the FreeStyle Libre portfolio—are small, sensor-based systems that provide minute-to-minute glucose readings day and night. They provide a complete glycemic picture*1 without the pain and hassle of fingersticks‡.
Sensor readings are taken from the interstitial fluid (ISF), a thin layer of fluid that surrounds the cells of the tissues below the skin, and then paired with a smartphone‡ or reader§.
Collect glucose data day and night without fingersticking†, allowing for greater insights into patterns and trends2
Track glucose data in a way that provides easy visibility to hidden problems*1
Impact Hba1C*3-9 and hypoglycemia*10,11, alerting‖¶ members—and even caregivers#—when glucose levels are too high or too low
Engage members in managing their diabetes by showing how different foods and activities may affect their glucose levels
The FreeStyle Libre portfolio brings together an ecosystem of digital tools and features that members, providers, and caregivers can rely on.
