Analysing the impact of the FreeStyle Libre Portfolio on the lives of real users

real world data

Outcomes for people with diabetes

The FreeStyle Libre Portfolio is making a real impact on outcomes for people with diabetes.

Increases Time in Range1

Improves quality of life2

Reduces hypoglycaemia1,3

Decreases HbA1c4

Real-World Data

More frequent use of the FreeStyle Libre systems* increases Time in Range5

Comparing two groups from lowest to highest scan rate6, patients who scanned more frequently using the FreeStyle Libre systems* spent 43% more Time In Range.

5.8 million

FreeStyle Libre sensors

1.71 billion

hours of glucose readings

43%

more Time In Range

(70-180 mg/dL) from 11.7 to 16.8 hours per day5 (p<0.001)

Frequent use of the FreeStyle Libre system also resulted in patients spending 26% less Time Below Range (<54 mg/dL)5

The FreeStyle Libre system is clinically proven to significantly reduce hypoglycaemia in T1D1 and T2D3 patients

Increased testing frequency is sustained over time with the FreeStyle Libre system.7

Impact Study1: T1D Patients

Hypoglycaemia is defined as <70 mg/dL.

Replace Study3: T2D Patients

Clinical Evidence

Clinical benefits for a broad range of T1D and
T2D patients.

Webinars

We offer various on-demand webinars for 
Healthcare Professionals including 
Understanding Time in Range.
