The FreeStyle Libre 14 day system is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system consisting of the LibreLink* app or a handheld reader and a glucose sensor worn on the back of the upper arm.
How does it work?
The sensor uses a thin, flexible filament inserted just under the skin to measure glucose levels every minute.
Use your smartphone* or handheld reader to scan the glucose sensor with a painless,2 one-second scan to replace fingersticks.¶
The LibreLink* app or FreeStyle Libre 14 day reader
The Sensor Glucose Readings screen appears after you use your smartphone* or reader** to scan your sensor. Your reading includes your current glucose reading, a glucose trend arrow indicating which way your glucose is headed, and a graph showing your 8 hour glucose history.
A graph showing the pattern and variability of your sensor glucose over a typical day. The thick black line shows the midpoint of your glucose readings. The gray shading represents a range of your sensor readings.
Note: Daily Patterns needs at least 5 days of glucose data.
This view provides information about the number of low glucose events measured by your sensor. The total number of events is displayed above the graph. The bar graph displays the low glucose events in four different 6-hour periods of the day. Use the arrows to view your glucose data collected over the last 7, 14, 30, or 90 days. Low glucose events are recorded when glucose readings are lower than 70 mg/dL for longer than 15 minutes.
Shows the percentage of time your sensor readings were above, below, and within your target glucose range.¶¶
If your glucose reading is rapidly changing, below 70 mg/dL or projected to be below 70 mg/dL, or if there is no glucose number or trend arrow, you will see a visual alert, the Check Blood Glucose symbol. When you see this symbol, do a blood glucose test before making treatment decisions.¶
Select an area on the back of your upper arm, avoiding areas with moles, scarring, or recent insulin injections.##

Preparing your skin is an important step toward ensuring adhesion. Our sensor adhesion guide in our Support section suggests solutions to help overcome common skin surface conditions.
The sensor pack and sensor applicator are packaged as a set (separately from the reader).***
