According to the World Health Organization:
Approximately 422 million adults around the world have diabetes.
▪ One out of every 11 people has diabetes.
▪ 1.6 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year.
▪ Diabetes can lead to complications in many parts of the body and increase the risk of premature death such as stroke, blindness, heart disease and kidney failure.
Diabetes prevention steps:
*Eating healthily
* Doing sports and physical activities
* Avoid excessive weight gain
* Follow medical advice
* Check your blood glucose level if in doubt
There are many benefits to monitoring your blood sugar, especially when you learn how your body uniquely responds to various factors. Monitoring your blood sugar can also help you achieve your glucose goals while avoiding potential long-term complications of diabetes.
* Now with the FreeStyle Libre, free yourself from routine finger pricks by using a small sensor that continuously monitors your glucose levels day and night. Instead of finger prick, simply pass your phone or reader over the sensor for a painless one-second scan. Each scan provides a current glucose reading, trend arrow, and 8-hour history.
With a painless scanning process, the FreeStyle Libre Reader displays the current glucose reading for the last 8 hours, along with a trend arrow that shows whether the glucose level is rising, falling, or slowly changing.
*The small, waterproof sensor is designed to stay on the body for up to 14 days, and can be worn during regular activities such as showering and exercising.
* Glucose level trend arrow
It's easy to spot fluctuations and dips in your glucose levels at night and see how and how quickly your glucose levels are changing.
* Read the current glucose level
You can get your current glucose reading with a simple scan over the FreeStyle Libre sensor.
* Notes on foods and insulin
It's easy to add notes to track foods, insulin use, exercise and other events.
* Glucose data for the last 8 hours
Find your glucose data for the last 8 hours.
* No user calibration required
Calibration is the process of matching glucose readings from the sensor to a standard reference to ensure instrument accuracy.
The FreeStyle Libre sensor is factory calibrated and manufactured with minimal variation from sensor to sensor, eliminating the need for finger prick calibration.
The FreeStyle Libre is clinically proven to be accurate and consistent over 14 days, with no finger prick calibration required.
