CLINICAL STUDIES

Glucose monitoring leads to better outcomes25

Clinical studies show glucose monitoring are associated with better outcomes25. They also indicate that regular glucose testing is essential26, 27 to better manage overall glucose levels and reduce diabetes-related complications. With the FreeStyle Libre system, glucose monitoring is made easier.

FreeStyle Libre improves the frequency of glucose monitoring.

Two clinical studies, IMPACT and REPLACE, demonstrated that T1DM and T2DM FreeStyle Libre users safely and successfully replaced routine SMBG28.

FreeStyle Libre users monitored their glucose almost three times as frequently compared to self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG)28.

FreeStyle Libre users also reduced routine finger pricks by over 90%, with no device-related serious adverse events29, 30.

The FreeStyle Libre system delivers important clinical benefits

The studies showed that T1DM and T2DM FreeStyle Libre users spent less time in hypoglycaemia, had fewer hypoglycaemic episodes per day, and saw no statistically significant increase in HbA1c vs SMBG 29, 30.

Real-World data from Abbott's FreeStyle Libre show association between higher frequency of glucose monitoring and improved glucose control for people with diabetes31.

Reduction in hypoglycemia

Time spent below glucose levels of 3.9 mmol/L, 3.0 mmol/L and 2.5 mmol/L decreased by 15%, 40% and 49%31.
