Freestyle Libre 3 Plus Sensor: 15-Day Wear in a Small Sensor
Continuous Glucose Monitoring technology has been a breakthrough in enhancing the quality of life of a patient. Abbott Laboratories has just launched the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus Sensor. This new sensor can revolutionize care for people with diabetes by making their blood glucose management easier and more accurate. In particular, the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus extends its lifetime to up to 15 days; at the same time, it maintains the small size of the Freestyle Libre 3 sensors. Moreover, this device is indicated for children as young as 2 years old.
Comparison of Freestyle Libre 3 Plus Sensor with Its Predecessors:
The Freestyle Libre 3 Plus Sensor makes a real jump in functionality from some of the successes that have preceded it, like Freestyle Libre 2 sensors. While on a very fundamental level, they may be quite similar, the 3 Plus has a few upgraded features:
- Dimension and Comfort: Dimension-wise, the 3 Plus is still smaller and more comfortable than both the Freestyle Libre 2 sensors and the Freestyle Libre 3 sensors. It thus provides better wear tolerance in the long run.
- Accuracy: On the accuracy front, the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus closes still further what is recorded and what is the actual level of glucose.
- Real-time Data: This system captures glucose information at one-minute increments. Unlike the Freestyle Libre 2 sensor, as well as with the standard Freestyle Libre 3, which captures data every five minutes, users can see a smoother and more accurate representation of glucose trends.
- No Fingerstick Calibration: The Freestyle Libre 3 Plus avoids fingerstick calibration required, at times, with Freestyle Libre 2 sensors.
- Compatibility:This sensor works in pairing with the Freestyle Livre 3 app and/or Freestyle Libre 3 reader. Furthermore, it works with Beta Bionics iLet Bionic Pancreas as well.
How to Apply CGM on the Body?
Please follow the user’s manual to apply the sensor.
You may also get help from these steps:
1
Take an alcohol wipe and clean the area where you plan to apply the sensor.
2
Peel the backing off the sensor and press it firmly onto your skin.
3
Now insert the sensor just under the skin using an applicator.
4
Press the start button on the sensor after you have applied it.
5
Read the manual once before using the sensor.
Conclusion:
The Freestyle Libre 3 Plus is the smallest 15 days CGM in the world. This CGM sensor is indicated for ages 2 and above. On top of all, this sensor updates your glucose readings every minute and is also compatible with the automatic aid system(AID). Though it’s marked safe to be used by both type 1 and type 2 diabetic people, it’s recommended to always check with your doctor before taking any medical action.
