Introducing the FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor: A Discrete Solution for Monitoring Glucose Levels
For people with diabetes, monitoring glucose levels is a crucial part of daily life. However, traditional glucose monitoring methods can be cumbersome and inconvenient. That’s where the FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor comes in. This small and discrete sensor can detect glucose concentration from the interstitial fluid day and night, providing users with up-to-date information about their glucose levels.
Real-Time Updates Every Minute

Sync with Your Smartphone
The FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor is also capable of sending results directly to the user’s smartphone. This feature makes it easy for users to keep track of their glucose levels on-the-go, without having to carry around a separate device.
FDA-Cleared Reader
The FreeStyle Libre 3 Reader, owned by Abbott, has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This continuous glucose monitor reader eliminates the need for manual scanning, providing users with information about their glucose levels automatically.
Choose Your Method

Medicare Coverage Abbott’s CGM system, including the Libre 3 reader, has been approved by the FDA and is now covered by Medicare for individuals with type 2 diabetes who take insulin or have experienced troublesome hypoglycemia with other medications. This wider insurance coverage is a significant step forward in making this technology accessible to more people who need it.
