FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor : The worlds smallest sensor
Our smallest, most discreet sensor yet1 that is worn on the back of the upper arm and continuously measures the glucose concentration in the body's interstitial fluid day and night. The sensor updates the glucose result up to every minute and sends it straight to your compatible smartphone. It can be worn for up to 14 days and is water-resistant so continues to work while you shower, swim or exercise.₸ The most accurate 14-day CGM system2 to help reduce time spent in hypoglycaemia3 and improve overall glucose control.4 The world’s smallest, thinnest, and most discreet sensor1 – about the size of a pound coin. Easy to apply and wear5 with a simple one-piece applicator. Also easy on the environment with 41% less plastic and 43% less outer packaging material.5 Glucose readings streamed directly to your smartphone every minute.◊ Glucose monitoring has never been easier or more convenient. To use your FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor, download the FreeStyle Libre 3 app for free* on your smartphone and get your glucose readings. NICE recommends HCL for managing glucose levels in type 1 diabetes6,7,8 This means more people with type 1 diabetes qualify for Hybrid Closed Loop compatible systems like the FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor, which is authorised to work with the mylife Loop^ system. 6. An HCL system consists of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor, a control algorithm and an insulin pump. 7. NICE [2023] Hybrid closed loop systems for managing blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes. [GID-TA10845]. www.nice.org.uk/guidance/indevelopment/gid-ta10845. 8. Only use hybrid closed loop systems with the support of a trained multidisciplinary team experienced in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and continuous glucose monitoring in type 1 diabetes. Only use hybrid closed loop systems if the person or their carer understands and is able to use them, and is also attending a type 1 diabetes structured education programme.
