How is the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus continuous glucose monitoring system different from blood glucose monitoring and continuous glucose monitoring?

Traditional glucose monitoring provides users with glucose readings that represent distinct points in time. Users do not get comprehensive information regarding how their glucose levels have been changing, nor do they get information about where their glucose levels are going. Without such information, it can be easy to miss significant glucose fluctuations - the ups and downs. Continuous glucose monitoring gives a more complete picture of glucose fluctuations by providing glucose values dependent on the system from every minute to every 5 minutes. Understanding how their glucose levels have been changing makes it possible for users and their healthcare team to take appropriate actions and make therapy adjustments. The FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus system is a new and user-friendly way to discreetly obtain glucose readings. The FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus system offers benefits of both continuous glucose monitoring and blood glucose monitoring – on one hand it provides a complete picture of glucose variations while on the other, it allows users to get their current glucose readings by simply checking their phone.
