FAQ
What is FreeStyle Libre?
FreeStyle Libre is a continuous glucose monitoring system that measures glucose levels in individuals with diabetes through a tiny sensor that you wear on your skin.
How does it work?
The sensor measures glucose levels in the interstitial fluid (fluid between the cells) and sends the results to a handheld reader or a compatible smartphone app via NFC technology.

Can I swim or shower with the sensor?
Yes, the sensors are water-resistant and designed to be worn while swimming or showering.
Do I still need to check my blood sugar using traditional methods?
While FreeStyle Libre provides continuous glucose monitoring, it is still important to perform traditional blood glucose testing periodically, especially if the sensor readings seem out of range or if you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Is FreeStyle Libre covered by insurance?
FreeStyle Libre is covered by many insurance plans in the US. The level of coverage may vary depending on your individual plan and whether you require a prescription or not.
Does FreeStyle Libre require calibration or coding?
