Do not ignore symptoms that may be due to low or high blood glucose. If you have symptoms that do not match the Sensor glucose reading or suspect that your reading may be inaccurate, check the reading by conducting a finger stick test using a blood glucose meter. If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your glucose readings, consult your health care professional.

Optional Alarmsa

with the FreeStyle 2 Libre System

 

With our optional alarm function, you can choose to receive a message the minute your glucose level is too high or too low using the FreeStyle Libre system.1

 

How it works

When you turn on the glucose alarms, you'll receive a notification when your glucose reading goes above or below your target rangeb.

It even works when you're sleepinga or when your smartphone is in Do Not Disturb mode. When you receive a glucose alarm notification, it will include the glucose reading and trend arrow so you can act accordingly.1
