Will my patients be able to feel the Sensors while they are wearing it?
The portion of the Sensors* that gets inserted under the skin is less than 0.4 millimetre wide (1mm is about the thickness of a few strands of human hair) and it’s inserted only about 5mm under the skin, so most people will never feel the Sensors while they are being worn1.
* FreeStyle Libre sensors refers to the FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 sensors
1. Data on file. In a study conducted by Abbott, 93.4% of patients surveyed (n=30) did not feel discomfort under the skin while wearing the Sensor.
