FreeStyle® Libre™ Flash Glucose Monitoring System: A Novel Diagnostic Technique for Monitoring Diabetes
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
To successfully manage diabetes, a monitoring system is needed to consistently check glucose levels. Frequent capillary blood glucose tests or self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the traditional and one of the most effective ways to keep track of individual’s blood glucose levels. With Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), more detail picture of glucose levels can be obtained, which can prompt better treatment choices and better glucose control. The Abbott FreeStyle® Libre™ has come as an entirely new concept in glucose monitoring by providing much greater data than blood glucose testing. The data from the FreeStyle® Libre™ system provides a visual snapshot of a person’s glucose fluctuations during a typical day. This review highlights the principle mechanism of action of FreeStyle® Libre™ system, advantages, limitations and it’s amazing applications in the management of diabetes.
