FAQ
Continuous glucose monitoring (BMG) is a tool for people with diabetes. It measures your glucose levels 24 hours a day when you wear the sensor.
FreeStyle Libre sensors give you a broad view of your glucose levels in real time. This will help you improve your diabetes control.
Features:
- Finger-free measurement
- Round-the-clock blood sugar test
- You don’t need to make any finger punctures.
- You may find it easier to take insulin therapy to avoid high peaks or deep declines, as you have constant glucose monitoring.
- Not only do you see your sugar levels at the moment, but you can also see what your metrics were when you weren’t looking at the data, such as at night, during a workout, or after dinner.
- Thanks to the sensor, you always know if your blood glucose level is falling, normal, or rising.
- You can set alarms for almost all glucose levels. After that, you will receive a warning if your blood sugar level becomes too high or too low.
- The sensor allows other people to monitor their sugar levels remotely. For example, parents can see their child’s glucose level on their phone.
- The sensor shows how blood glucose levels respond to things like insulin, food, exercise, sleep, and stress. This will give you a much better understanding of why your glucose levels are rising or falling. Everything becomes more transparent.
- You can share glucose sensor data with your diabetes doctor and see how you can improve your diabetes treatment together.
- With the help of a sensor, you can suddenly see everything. You can see your glucose rise, for example, from cookies or chocolate, and you can also see how quickly it can drop again. This can make you restless and make you feel like you have to deal with your diabetes all the time.
- The sensor does not measure directly in the blood, but in the subcutaneous tissue. This means that the sensor value is often slightly behind the value measured by the blood glucose meter. For an average of ten minutes.
- You wear the sensor on your body 24/7.
- If you use the alarm function, you may receive notifications at inconvenient times, such as at night or during class.
- Do you often experience high or low values or strong fluctuations in your glucose levels? Keep in mind that the sensor value in high or low areas may be less reliable.
- There are glucose sensors that need to be calibrated. This may mean that you still need to check your glucose levels regularly.
- Thanks to the glucose sensor, you have the opportunity to improve your diabetes control.
- This is certainly an advantage, but it means that you will be more likely to deal with diabetes.
- The sensor itself will not improve glucose levels. This will only work if you start eating differently, exercising more, or injecting more or less insulin based on data from your sensor. Many people do this after consulting their doctor.

No. Readers are no longer needed to read sugar readings. You can read using the LibreLink or Libre 3 app.
