Description:

The monitoring of his glucose level is fundamental for the diabetic. It allows the diabetic to determine the right dose of insulin to use. Indeed, blood sugar levels will vary during the day, depending on various factors, for example the composition of meals or physical activity.

Monitoring blood sugar levels is a relatively tedious process that involves pricking a fingertip several times a day and then testing the blood with an appropriate meter to determine the level of sugar in the blood

Freestyle Libre makes monitoring easy and eliminates the need for pricking. It works with a sensor, the diameter of a two-euro coin, which is attached to the arm. It measures the level of glucose in the fluid between the blood capillaries and the cells every minute using a flexible needle. Once installed, this sensor works for up to two weeks. It can be kept on during sports, and because it is waterproof, it can be worn in the shower or during water activities. Thus, it offers great freedom to its wearer.

To collect blood glucose, simply scan the sensor with the Freestyle Libre reader (sold separately). It then displays the data that will be used to adjust the insulin dosages

After 14 days, the sensor needs to be renewed.
