Gather Your Supplies

Before you start, ensure you have all the necessary supplies ready. You will need:

  • Freestyle Libre Sensor package
  • Cleansing wipes or alcohol swabs
  • Freestyle Libre Reader or compatible smartphone app
  • Adhesive bandage or tape

Step 1: Preparing the Application Site

Cleanse the area where you plan to apply the sensor using a cleansing wipe or an alcohol swab. Ensure the site is dry before proceeding.

Step 2: Opening the Freestyle Libre Sensor

Remove the Freestyle Libre Sensor package from its outer packaging. Carefully peel back the tab to reveal the adhesive side of the sensor. Avoid touching the adhesive surface to prevent contamination.

Step 3: Applying the Sensor

Place the adhesive side of the sensor onto the prepared application site. Press down gently but firmly to ensure proper adhesion. Make sure the sensor is aligned with any orientation markers on the package.

Step 4: Securing the Sensor

To ensure the sensor stays in place, use an adhesive bandage or tape to secure it further. It’s important to protect the sensor from accidental dislodgement during everyday activities.

Step 5: Activating the Sensor

If you are using the Freestyle Libre Reader, hold it close to the sensor. For smartphone app users, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for activating the sensor. This will start the warm-up period during which the sensor will stabilize and begin providing accurate glucose readings.

Step 6: Scanning and Monitoring

Once the warm-up period is complete, you can start scanning the sensor to obtain real-time glucose readings. Simply hover the Freestyle Libre Reader or smartphone app near the sensor, and the information will be displayed.

Tips for Optimal Performance

  • Ensure the application site is clean and dry to promote good adhesion.
  • Follow the recommended sensor placement areas to avoid discomfort or inaccurate readings.
  • Store the sensors in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
  • Regularly clean your Freestyle Libre Reader or smartphone app to maintain accurate readings.
  • Consult with your healthcare provider for any concerns or questions regarding the usage or results provided by the Freestyle Libre Sensor.

Now that you have mastered the application of the Freestyle Libre Sensor, you can enjoy the benefits of hassle-free glucose monitoring. Remember to follow the provided instructions and consult your healthcare provider for any specific guidance related to your condition. Happy monitoring!
