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.

Will the difference in results between the FreeStyle Libre system and my blood glucose meter (BGM) impact my dosing decisions?

The FreeStyle Libre system is designed to replace routine blood glucose testing in the self-management of diabetes.1 The FreeStyle Libre system provides accurate results that you can rely on when you are making day-to-day therapy decisions (based on your health care provider’s recommendations).2
