The Difference Between Sensor Glucose And Blood Glucose

Image
Finger prick blood glucose readings and sensor glucose readings won’t always match and in fact are likely to be different That’s because sensor glucose readings come from the interstitial fluid (ISF), a thin layer of fluid that surrounds the cells of tissues below the skin, not from blood. Why Are FreeStyle Libre Sensor Readings Sometimes Different From A Finger Prick Blood Glucose Test? Blood glucose and sensor glucose are closely related but not identical.   A sensor glucose reading always lags behind a finger prick blood glucose reading by about 2.4 img 4.6 minutes.   If glucose levels are rising or falling, then the two readings may be different. This is completely normal and to be expected, particularly after meals, after taking insulin or when you´ve been exercising.  When your glucose levels are stable then the two readings may be very similar.   Although the readings may differ slightly, the FreeStyle Libre system is accurate and safe to dose i...

FreeStyle Libre Reader- How IT WORKS?

Image
1. APPLY THE SENSOR The FreeStyle Libre sensor is applied on to the back of the upper arm with a simple, disposable device called an applicator. When the sensor is applied, a thin, flexible and sterile fibre is inserted just under the skin. It is held in place with a small adhesive pad. 2. SCAN SENSOR To obtain a glucose reading, simply perform a quick, painless 1-second scan of the reader over the sensor. This scan gives you more information than monitoring with blood glucose test strips, without the need for routine finger pricks. The FreeStyle Libre system also offers optional FreeStyle Libre software to generate concise reports to assist with the analysis of glucose data. 3. GET READING Each scan of the FreeStyle Reader over the sensor gives a current glucose reading, the last 8-hours of glucose history, and a trend arrow showing if glucose is going up, down, or changing slowly. The reader can scan through clothing. FreeStyle Libre Experience Centers in UAE If you are Looking to...
