Launching in the US in 2020, the FreeStyle Libre 2 is an integrated continuous glucose monitor rather than a rapid glucose monitor. It notifies the user when blood sugar levels are too high or too low without requiring the user to scan the device. The FreeStyle Libre 2 is the first patient-oriented CGM with a 14-day lifespan. Simply put, the app aims to provide patients using the Freestyle Libre2 glucose sensor with personalized, up-to-date blood glucose data for diabetes management. After scanning the sensor with the app, patients will receive their current blood glucose readings and trends to help determine the impact of food, exercise and lifestyle factors on diabetes management.

What’s more, the app maintains the same receiver scanning functionality as the original FreeStyle Libre and adds Bluetooth connectivity. This is important because it allows for optional alerts for high and low blood sugar levels. Users who turn on these alerts can receive notifications on their scanners or mobile phones whenever blood sugar readings go above or below specified ranges. The scanner can sound and vibrate to inform the user that they are at risk of high or low blood sugar, but the actual blood glucose value and trend will only be displayed when the user scans the sensor.

All in all, this app for diabetes management really works. FreeStyle Libre 2 makes it easy for people to manage their diabetes, empowering users to access information anytime, anywhere. And it is worth mentioning that the FreeStyle Libre 2 system features unrivaled 14-day accuracy and enhanced features including optional alarms.
