The revolutionary FreeStyle Libre Flash glucose monitoring system for people with diabetes became available on the Russian market
In 2018, Abbott's FreeStyle Libre [1] Flash Glucose Monitoring System was officially launched, a revolutionary new continuous glucose measurement technology. An innovative technology, the FreeStyle Libre Flash glucose monitoring system is designed to qualitatively change the lives of diabetics and help them manage their disease more effectively. The system uses a transducer that fits on the shoulder for up to 14 days, eliminating the painful puncture of fingers.
Abbott's FreeStyle Libre System consists of a small, flat 3.5 cm transducer that attaches to the shoulder with an adhesive base and a lightweight mobile scanner. Every minute, the device measures the glucose level in the intercellular fluid through a thin thread that is placed directly under the skin. The scanner reads the sensor readings, allowing you to painlessly receive information about the glucose level in a split second. Each time you scan, the system displays your current glucose level in real time, past data, and a trend in your glucose level.
