FreeStyle Libre Overview

How is flash glucose monitoring different to blood glucose monitoring (BGM)?

Traditional blood glucose monitoring provides users with glucose readings that represent distinct points in time. Users do not get comprehensive information regarding how their glucose levels have been changing, nor do they get information about where their glucose levels are going. Without such information, it can be easy to miss significant glucose fluctuations - the ups and downs. Continuous glucose monitoring gives a more complete picture of glucose fluctuations by providing glucose values dependent on the system from every minute to every 5 minutes. Understanding how their glucose levels have been changing makes it possible for users and their healthcare team to take appropriate actions and make therapy adjustments. The FreeStyle Libre system is a new and user-friendly way to discreetly obtain glucose readings. The FreeStyle Libre system offers benefits of both CGM and BGM – on one hand it provides a complete picture of glucose variations while on the other, it allows users to get their current glucose readings in a flash by just scanning the reader over the Sensor.

What is a flash glucose monitoring system?

Flash Glucose Monitoring is designed as an affordable and easy way to generate the dense glucose data needed for an insightful glycaemic picture. What makes flash glucose monitoring unique is the quick scan of the reader over the Sensor to collect glucose data. Another key feature of the flash glucose monitoring system is the small and fully disposable Sensor that lasts up to 14 days, requires no finger prick calibration, no routine finger pricks2 and that automatically measures, captures and stores 90 days of glucose data.

Footnote:

2 A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the system or when symptoms do not match the system readings.

Based on the Sensor being replaced once every 14 days and scanned at least once every 8 hours.

How does the FreeStyle Libre system work?

To obtain a glucose reading, users simply perform a quick, painless8 1-second scan of the reader over the Sensor. This easy scan gives user more information than BGM without the need for finger pricks2. The FreeStyle Libre system also offers software to generate concise reports that provide a clear analysis of the user’s glucose data.

8 Most people did not feel any discomfort under the skin while wearing the FreeStyle Libre sensor. In a study conducted by Abbott Diabetes Care, 93.4% of patients surveyed (n=30) strongly agree or agree that while wearing the sensor, they did not feel any discomfort under their skin. [29 persons have finished the study; 1 person terminated the study after 3 days due to skin irritations in the area where the sensor touched the skin].

2 A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia is reported by the system or when symptoms do not match the system readings.

Is interstitial fluid (ISF) a reasonable alternative for blood? What about the lag?

ISF is a reasonable alternative for blood. Glucose can be measured in the ISF–the fluid around the body’s cells where glucose freely diffuses from capillaries to the interstitial space34.The physiological delay in ISF glucose with respect to changes in blood glucose is about 5-10 minutes32 which is unlikely to impact routine day-to-day treatment decisions. The average lag time of the FreeStyle Libre system is approximately 5 minutes35.

FreeStyle Libre Reader

Do I need a separate blood glucose meter when using the FreeStyle Libre system?

No, for convenience, there is a built-in blood glucose meter within the reader that can be used for blood glucose and blood ketone testing.

Can the FreeStyle Libre system be used by children?

The FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system can measure interstitial fluid glucose levels in people aged 4 and above with diabetes mellitus. Children aged 4 to 17 should be supervised by a caregiver who is at least 18 years old. The caregiver is responsible for supervising, managing, and assisting the child in using the FreeStyle Libre system and interpreting its readings.

What is a Trend Arrow? How does it work? And what does it tell me?

The FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System offers a Trend Arrow with each glucose reading that gives you an indication of the direction your glucose is going. To include the picture rather than words:

Do I need to calibrate the FreeStyle Libre system?

No. Unlike other sensor-based glucose monitoring systems that are currently available, the FreeStyle Libre Sensor is factory calibrated and requires no finger prick calibrations during the 14-day wear period. FreeStyle Libre system is a factory calibrated Sensor that has been proven to safely and successfully replace SMBG1,2 and deliver important clinical benefit. Specific details about our calibration process are proprietary.

Can I perform a blood ketone test with the FreeStyle Libre system?

Yes, for convenience, there is a built-in blood glucose meter within the reader that can be used for blood glucose and blood ketone testing.

Why does the system require a 1 hour warm up period?

Abbott Diabetes Care is committed to making its products safe for the user. Soon after the insertion of a Sensor, there are physiological processes that happen as the Sensor and the body equilibrates. These processes are part of the body's natural response to the Sensor insertion. The equilibration process can vary from one person to another and may not always happen in the same manner for any one person. Therefore, we have decided to let the system equilibrate for 1 hour to ensure that the system is providing accurate glucose readings.

How should I discard the disposable components, such as the sensor pack and applicator?

Regulations vary depending on location. This product should be disposed of in accordance with all applicable local regulations related to the disposal of electronic equipment, batteries, sharps, and materials potentially exposed to body fluids.

“Sharps" include any device or object used to puncture or lacerate the skin. Sensors are not sharps as they do not contain a sharp. The sharp is left in the applicator.

Contact Customer Service for further information on appropriate disposal of system components.

My skin is quite sensitive, what should I do if I have any skin reaction to the FreeStyle Libre system?

Some individuals may be sensitive to the adhesive that keeps the Sensor attached to the skin. If you notice significant skin irritation around or under your Sensor, remove the Sensor and stop using the FreeStyle Libre system. Contact your health care professional before continuing to use the FreeStyle Libre system.

Yes, the FreeStyle LibreLink app is approved by Health Science Authority (HSA) in Singapore. 

Are there other apps available that are approved for use with FreeStyle Libre sensors?

No, the FreeStyle LibreLink app is the only app that has been tested by Abbott Diabetes Care to be compatible with FreeStyle Libre sensors. The FreeStyle LibreLink22 app was developed to ensure compliance with local regulations, including safety and performance requirements in accordance with the intended use. Any product that is intended to be compatible with FreeStyle Libre sensors would also need to comply with these regulations as well.

22 Use of FreeStyle LibreLink requires registration with LibreView. Automatic upload requires a wireless internet connection or mobile data connection.

What is near-field communication (NFC) and how do I know if my phone has it?

NFC is the wireless communication technology that enables your FreeStyle Libre sensors to wirelessly transmit data to another device.

 

For Android users: Your Android phone must have NFC capabilities and NFC must be enabled. Many of the latest Android phones support NFC. Check your phone's manual or go to the phone’s Settings menu and look for settings related to ‘NFC’, ‘Connections’, ‘Sharing’, or ‘Wireless & Networks.’

 

For iPhone users: You must have an iPhone 7 or higher running iOS 11 or higher to utilize the NFC capability needed to scan the FreeStyle Libre sensor.

Is the app approved for pediatric use or pregnant women?

The app has the same indications for use as the FreeStyle Libre system. Please see the FreeStyle Libre system indications for use for your country.

How do I scan my FreeStyle Libre sensor with my phone?

Android:

After you’ve applied a FreeStyle Libre sensor to the back of your upper arm, open the app and hold the back of your Android phone near (exact distance will vary by phone) the FreeStyle Libre sensor to scan it. The size and location of the NFC antenna in Android phones varies by make and model, so you may have to move the phone around to find the best position for scanning the FreeStyle Libre sensor.

 

Once you have found the optimal scan position, wait for the app to produce two distinct tones or vibrations before you move the phone away from the FreeStyle Libre sensor. The first tone indicates the phone’s NFC has recognized the sensor. The second tone indicates the scan is complete.

 

iPhone:

After you’ve applied a FreeStyle Libre sensor to the back of your upper arm, open the app and tap one of the scan buttons within the app to put the iPhone in a scan ready state. There are two types of scan buttons – a blue button on the Home screen and a gray scan icon in the top right corner of most screens. Hold the top edge of your iPhone near the sensor and do not move your iPhone until you hear a tone and/or feel a vibration, which indicates the scan is complete.

Do I have to remove the case on my phone to scan the sensor?

You may or may not have to remove your phone case – it depends on the material that the case is made from, how thick the case is, and how well your phone’s NFC antenna works. If your phone case is made from plastic or silicone or another non-conductive material, you will probably be able to scan the sensor without removing the case. If the case is aluminum, metal or anything else that has a conductive surface, you may need to remove the case before scanning your sensor. The thickness of the case can also make a difference. If your case is very thick, it could prevent the phone from scanning the sensor.

Can the app replace my FreeStyle Libre reader?

Yes. The app was developed using the same technology that is in the FreeStyle Libre reader for receiving and processing glucose data, so it can also be used for routine glucose monitoring. The app can be used instead of or in combination with the FreeStyle Libre reader. 

Do I need to carry a separate blood glucose meter?

There’s no need to use a separate blood glucose meter for routine testing.2 The app allows you to get glucose results as often as you like by simply scanning your FreeStyle Libre sensor with your phone.

 

However, a finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels, if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the Sensor, or when symptoms do not match the Sensor readings.

 

2A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the system or when symptoms do not match the system readings.

Can I use my FreeStyle Libre reader and FreeStyle LibreLink app with the same sensor?

You can choose to monitor your glucose levels with either the app, the reader, or both. You can use the FreeStyle LibreLink app and the FreeStyle Libre reader with the same sensor, as long as you start the sensor with the reader first, and then scan the newly started sensor with your phone.

 

Remember that the FreeStyle LibreLink app and FreeStyle Libre readers do not share data with each other. For example, if you switch between your reader and the app, you may see gaps in your glucose data, which will affect the reports available through the reader, the FreeStyle LibreLink app, and LibreView. It is important to continue scanning your sensor with either the app or the reader at least once every eight hours so you and your healthcare professional can get a complete picture of your glucose trends and patterns.

 

Can I use the FreeStyle LibreLink app to scan someone else’s sensor?

The FreeStyle LibreLink app is intended to be used with only one sensor (and one person) at a time. Each app account is associated with one person. However, people who use the FreeStyle LibreLink app can connect with their caregivers if they are using a separate app called LibreLinkUp. LibreLinkUp allows caregivers to remotely monitor glucose readings performed by their love ones.

Can the FreeStyle LibreLink app be used to make insulin dosing decisions?

Yes. People with diabetes can use FreeStyle Libre sensors with the app to better understand the impact of actions like eating, exercise, and taking insulin based on their glucose levels. They can also make day-to-day therapy decisions when using the app with a FreeStyle Libre sensor, including insulin dosing decisions, based on guidance from their healthcare professional.

Will the FreeStyle LibreLink app work in ‘airplane mode’?

Yes. If you use an Android phone, you may need to go to your phone’s settings and reactivate NFC when your phone is in airplane mode. You can scan with your iPhone in airplane mode by tapping one of the scan buttons in the app to put it in a scan ready state.

What if I don’t have phone service or Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection are only required for initial app setup (downloading / installing the app, creating an account, or signing in) and sharing your glucose information with your care team or with other connected apps. The app does not require a Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection to scan your sensor or to record your current glucose readings. During periods when your phone is operating in a disconnected state, your data will only be uploaded to LibreView after a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection is restored.

Does the FreeStyle LibreLink app cause my phone battery to deplete more quickly?

No, the FreeStyle LibreLink app is meant to be used as often as you like and should not have a noticeable effect on battery life beyond your normal usage patterns.

What happens if my phone battery dies?

If your phone battery dies, charge your phone to continue using the FreeStyle LibreLink app. Your data will not be lost if the phone battery dies and you can scan the sensor while the phone is being charged.

Can I use the FreeStyle LibreLink app on a rooted or jailbroken phone?

The FreeStyle LibreLink app is not supported on rooted Android phones or jailbroken iPhones.
