FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader
The Freestyle Libre 2 is a Flash CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) system that is worn on the back of the arm and automatically tracks glucose levels day and night. The Libre 2 reader tracks real time readings, 8 hour trends, and high or low glucose alarms from a paired Libre 2 sensor.
The Libre 2 is the latest in Continuous Glucose Monitoring technology from Abbott. Libre 2 enables you to obtain regular, discrete blood glucose readings without the constant hassle of carrying and disposing of lancets and test strips.
Take control over glucose monitoring like never before with the Freestyle Libre 2 Reader!
Why Flash Continuous Glucose Monitoring?
The Freestyle Libre 2 system is one of the only glucose monitoring devices to measure glucose levels every minute. When combined with the 14-day sensor, nearly unmatched levels of accuracy in a wearable CGM are provided. This means that a total of 1,440 readings per day ensure the user is always aware and in control. An optional audible alarm notifies the user through the Libre 2 reader. With a simple swipe of the device real-time measurements and trends are viewable.

Enabling the Alarms on the Libre 2 Reder
One of the biggest differences between the Freestyle Libre and Freestyle Libre 2 is the ability to set optional swipe free alarms that transmit to a paired reader or smartphone. Please note that the alarm device must be manually set up before use and stay within range of the sensor.
The system allows for three types of alarms:
- Low Glucose
- High Glucose
- Signal Loss
Set Your Own High or Low Alarms
Never worry about your glucose level reaching a concerning low or high without you knowing it.
With the amazing Libre 2 you’re able to select your own low and high glucose levels. Low glucose alarms may be set between 60 mg/dL to 100 mg/dL. High glucose alarms may be set between 120 MG/DL to 400 DG/ML.
Watch this video to learn How to Use Glucose Level Alarms:
Use a Traditional Glucose Monitor and Test Strips When Needed
The Freestyle Libre 2 Reader can provide glucose readings from the Freestyle Libre 2 Wearable Sensor or Precision Neo Test strips. That means you can always us a traditional test strip method to check your blood glucose levels.
The primary function of the reader is to provide 24/7 real-time readings, tracking and alarms when setup with the wearable sensor. The reader does also work as a traditional blood glucose monitor (replying upon the finger pricking method) as needed.
When to Use Traditional Test Strips
Freestyle advises using a blood glucose meter in the following situations:
- If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your glucose readings
- During the first 12 hours of wearing the sensor you may find the Freestyle Libre 2 Inaccurate
- If the reading does not include a number
- As a backup to the Libre 2 sensor
What test strips does the Freestyle Libre 2 Reader Use?
The Libre 2 Reader works only with Freestyle Precision Neo Test Strips.
Libre 2 Reader or Smartphone?
The Libre 2 Sensor will display readings, tracking, and alarms through either the Libre 2 iPhone App or the Libre 2 reader.
The Freestyle Libre 2 manual states, “Before you start your Sensor, choose which device you want to use. If you start the Sensor with the App, you will be unable to use the Reader to check your glucose or receive alarms”.
Upon pairing a new Libre 2 sensor with either device be sure that the selected device will be accessible through the duration of the sensor life (14 days). As of the Libre 2 release, each sensor can only pair with one device (reader or smartphone).
Why Would I Buy The Libre 2 Reader?
The Freestyle Libre 2 reader can both pair with the wearable sensor and work as a standalone blood glucose monitor. That means having the Libre 2 reader enables you to obtain continuous glucose readings as well traditional testing using a strip.
Purchasing the reader allows for an all-in-one solution to get easy-swipe readings from the sensor, real time graphs from the previously stored 8 hours of readings, and optional alarms for high glucose, low glucose, and signal loss. Additionally, with the use of Freestyle Precision Neo Test Strips the reader provides a backup testing method as required.

the reader work ok……………………………………..
So far so good. Works well, and in a short time, you will get very use to using it. Did not experience any pain when applying the sensor to my arm. The reader synced up with the sensor no problem. Compared the sensor reading with my meter reading every couple of days. First time they were 5 points different and the second time was 12, so pretty close. The real time data and ease of checking your glucose, does definitely influence changes in behavior. As well as allowing you to see how the different foods you eat, as well as your physical exertion affects the glucose. The high /low alarms are nice too. Would not want to go back to finger sticking. The sensor has been thru numerous showers and is still sticking to my arm.
Have used iphone app since last year (iphone 12). Sometimes I would have scan error 7-8 times before I could obtain a reading. This has occurred over months of time and many sensors. This meter has yet to miss a reading on the first scan, and it has a smaller frame to carry. Very pleased with overall performance and with the improved accuracy over the app/phone combination. To me, the added cost of the meter is worth the decreased hassle and time loss.
this has totally changed my life! I use it for 2 weeks about 4x a year to keep myself on track with my health. There are a few features that I wish it had compared to what some of the phone apps have, however it serves its purpose really well. Knowing where I am at and understanding my trends has been entirely life changing. By using this, I was equipped to turn around my thyroid disease by understanding my blood sugar issues, which can be significant in people with thyroid issues. I have saved money (in the end) being able to understand and reverse the trends, however CGM materials are still really expensive and I have to save up to get them.
Accurate description. Very fast process/shipment. A seamless purchase.
