FreeStyle Libre 3 System
Description
Never miss a beat with The FreeStyle Libre 3 System. This continuous glucose monitoring system offers glucose readings every single minute* and lowers the need for painful fingersticks.† With prompt updates, you can easily and effectively manage your levels with precision.‡
The Libre 3 is manufactured by Abbott, a trusted leader in medical equipment. The company has been an innovative manufacturer of continuous glucose monitors since their invention, and designed two of the smallest sensors on the market. Both the FreeStyle Libre 3 and the newer, FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus have sensors that are approximately the size of two stacked pennies for discreet and comfortable wearability.
With the FreeStyle Libre 3 System, you get real-time alerts to your Reader via Bluetooth, and smartphone via the app. It monitors your blood sugar levels all day by using a small sensor that attaches to the back of your upper arm. The sensor checks the glucose in the fluid around your cells and sends the information to the Reader or your phone. The FreeStyle Libre 3 System is water-resistant and can be submerged under 3 feet of water for 30 minutes at a time.
Avoid extreme highs and lows with minute-by-minute glucose monitoring, thanks to the FreeStyle Libre 3 continuous glucose monitoring system.
The FreeStyle Libre 3 System may be covered by your insurance or Medicare plan. To see if you qualify, start your order or call us at 877-840-8218.
