Increased Monitoring Frequency

More frequent glucose monitoring with the FreeStyle Libre system is associated with better diabetes management.1,3,4

Making Better Choices

The FreeStyle Libre system helps patients with T2D make better choices

Real World data showed that 95% of patients with T1D and T2D using the FreeStyle Libre system:

✓ Have a better understanding of their glucose fluctuations8

✓ Data from FreeStyle Libre users with T2D showed that users feel more engaged with managing their diabetes4,5

 

Lifestyle modifications can help lower HbA1c

Patients with T2D who make lifestyle changes, such as diet and physical activity, see improved glucose control.9
