Glucose readings every minute of every hour of every day for up to 15 days
Smaller than the size of a £1 coin, the Libre 3 Plus sensor is comfortable to wear for up to 15 days.8
The sensor is easy to apply8 using a one-piece applicator. It requires no in-person training to use.8
The sensor can be worn while patients shower, swim and exercise.₸
With readings every minute, the FreeStyle Libre 3 system is more likely to detect a low than other CGM systems.6,9
38% reduction in time spent in hypoglycaemia without increasing HbA1c12
(<3.9 mmol/L)
40% reduction in nocturnal hypoglycaemia12 (<3.9 mmol/L, time in hour, from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am)
50% reduction in serious hypoglycaemia12 (≤3.0 mmol/L)
The fully customisable glucose alarms allow users to set high and low glucose alarm thresholds, based on individual needs and preferences. Alarms let patients know the minute they’ve crossed the preset thresholds, allowing them to take action to manage their glucose levels.
