How is FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring different than traditional blood glucose monitoring ?

Traditional blood 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.

The FreeStyle Libre systems are flash glucose monitoring systems which are a user-friendly way to discreetly obtain glucose readings10.

The FreeStyle Libre systems provides a more complete picture17 of where a patient’s glucose is, where it’s going, and where it’s been. It allows users to get their current glucose readings in a flash by just using the app13 or the reader along with the Sensor.
