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

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