How the FreeStyle Libre 2 system work
Glucose testing is essential for people with diabetes, but pain and hassle of routine finger pricks have been associated with patients sub-optimally self-monitoring their blood glucose1.
Studies have shown:
… adhere to blood glucose monitoring recommended by their HCP1
… report skipping blood glucose testing because it is invasive to their lives2
This leads to insufficient glucose data for diabetes treatment decisions.
