Features of the FreeStyle Libre 14 Day Sensor

• Small size and comfortable to wear. About the size of two stacked US quarters, the glucose monitoring sensor may be scanned through clothing.
• Painless application. A very thin filament sits just under the skin to measure interstitial fluid.
• Accurate sensor readings. No fingerstick calibrations required, and the system has no interference with medications containing acetaminophen.
• Water resistant. Stays on the body for up to 14 days, and can be worn while swimming, showering, or exercising.
• Continuous monitoring. Measure your glucose every minute, and stores readings every 15 minutes.

How to apply the FreeStyle Libre 14 Day Sensor

1. Choosing the site.

• Select an area on the back of your upper arm, avoiding areas with moles, scarring, or recent insulin injections.

2. Preparing your skin. Preparing your skin is an important step toward ensuring adhesion. The FreeStyle Libre 14 Day Sensor adhesion guide (download below) suggests solutions to help overcome common skin surface conditions.

3. Applying the FreeStyle Libre sensor. The sensor pack and sensor applicator are included together in the FreeStyle 14 Day Sensor Kit.
