BGM = blood glucose monitoring; DSME = Diabetes Self-Management Education; T1D = Type 1 diabetes; T2D = Type 2 diabetes; RCT = randomized controlled trial

Case Studies

Discover how real patients benefit from using FreeStyle Libre systems and gain valuable, real-world insights.

CV = cardiovascular; GLP-1 = glucagon-like peptide-1; QOL = quality of life; TIR = time in (target) range.

* Study was performed with the outside US version of the FreeStyle Libre 14 day system. Data is applicable to FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3 systems, as feature sets are similar as FreeStyle Libre 14 day system, excluding alarms.

† Data from this study was collected with the outside US version of the FreeStyle Libre 2 system. FreeStyle Libre 3 has the same features as FreeStyle Libre 2 system. Therefore the study data is applicable to both products.

‡ Based on assessment and input from patient’s healthcare provider.

§ Notifications will only be received when alarms are turned on and the sensor is within 20 feet of the reading device.

Important Safety Information

Failure to use FreeStyle Libre systems as instructed in labeling may result in missing a severe low or high glucose event and/or making a treatment decision, resulting in injury. If glucose reading and alarms (if enabled) do not match symptoms or expectations, use a fingerstick value from a blood glucose meter for treatment decisions. Get medical attention when appropriate. Abbott Customer Service: 855-632-8658 or visit FreeStyleLibre.us for safety info.
