Increased Time in Range
The FreeStyle Libre systems are proven to increase %TIR*,1
2.2 hours more Time in Range per day in T1D1
An independent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that Libre 2 users increased their Time in Range by over 2 hours per day.
- 156 people with T1D ≥16 years with HbA1c >7.5% to 7.5%-11% participated in a randomised, controlled study
- Libre 2 users spent 2.2 hours more time in range per day at 6 months of use vs those using self-monitored blood glucose

Reduced HbA1c
The FreeStyle Libre systems are clinically proven to significantly reduce HbA1c*,1,2,3
HbA1c reduction in T1D
Significant HbA1c reduction in T1D1
The same independent study shows that Libre 2 users reduced their HbA1c by 0.5% compared to self-monitored blood glucose at 6 months of use.

Making Better Choices
The Libre products help patients with T1D and T2D make better choices
Better understanding of glucose fluctuations:
Real World data showed that 95% of patients with T1D and T2D using the FreeStyle Libre systems* have a better understanding of their glucose fluctuations.5
Lifestyle modifications can help lower HbA1c
Patients with T2D who make lifestyle changes, such as diet and physical activity, see improved glucose control.6

* FreeStyle Libre systems refers to the FreeStyle Libre 2 and FreeStyle Libre 3 systems. The data from this study was collected using the FreeStyle Libre 2 system. FreeStyle Libre 3 system has the same features as the FreeStyle Libre 2 system therefore the study data is applicable to both products.
Ѱ For children aged 4-12, a caregiver at least 18 years old is responsible for supervising, managing, and assisting them in using the FreeStyle Libre system and interpreting its readings.
