Abbott Libre 2 sensor

Abbott Freestyle Libre 2 Sensor (1 piece)

Easy application of the sensor and painless scanning of your glucose levels. The sensor can be worn on the back of the upper arm for up to 14 days.

The FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor is designed to be easy to apply and comfortable to wear. The FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor is waterproof up to a depth of 1 meter for a duration of up to 30 minutes.

Applying the sensor

The FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor is applied to the back of the upper arm using the sensor applicator. When applying the sensor to the body, a thin, flexible, sterile filament is inserted just under the skin. The sensor is secured with a thin, transparent adhesive film and can be worn for up to 14 days.

Scanning the sensor

To measure your glucose level, you need the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or the FreeStyle LibreLink app. Hold the reader or your smartphone close to your sensor. The painless 1-second scan allows for a quick and discreet way to measure glucose - even through your clothing.

Retrieving the measurements

With each scan using the reader or smartphone over the sensor, the current glucose level, the glucose trend for the last 8 hours, and a trend arrow are displayed. This indicates whether the glucose level is rising, falling, or changing slowly.
