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.

Why does the FreeStyle Libre system not have any alarms?

The FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System is designed to replace routine blood glucose monitoring.*1 The system represents one of the products in a new category of flash glucose monitoring, which is a type of continuous glucose monitoring system. It is different traditional continuous glucose monitoring systems which typically have alarms. This system may provide a good alternative for patients that are bothered by alarms or suffer from ‘alarm fatigue’ but still want real time glucose information.

*Finger pricks are required if glucose readings do not match symptoms or expectations.1
