Steps To Use Your Sensor
Once you have downloadedd the app follow these steps to use your sensor
Step 1: Preparing your skin
Applying your new sensor is a lot easier than you might think. To begin, select an area on the back of your upper arm and:
-
Wash the area using plain soap and water.
-
Pat the area dry with a clean towel.
-
Clean the area with alcohol wipe and allow it to air dry.
Step 2: Applying your sensor
Once you’ve prepared the back of your upper arm, apply the sensor using either the two-piece or the one-piece applicator:
-
Place the sensor applicator over the prepared site and push down firmly.
-
The sensor should now be attached to your skin.
-
Secure by pressing down gently with your finger around the edge.
FreeStyle Libre 2
The FreeStyle Libre 2 is a CGM that lets you accurately monitor your glucose levels with a painless scan instead of fingersticks. You can use the FreeStyle Libre 2 app on your compatible smart device to track your glucose anytime, anywhere. When you scan your sensor you will see a current reading of your glucose levels, and glucose trend arrows that help you see if your glucose levels are normal, on the rise, or dropping, and a graph showing 8 hours of glucose history.
