Description
Abbott 57599080000, the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor, is a key component of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. This sensor is designed to provide continuous, real-time glucose readings for individuals with diabetes, reducing or eliminating the need for routine fingerstick calibrations.
Key Features
Continuous Glucose Monitoring: The sensor continuously measures glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid, providing readings every minute and storing up to 8 hours of data.
14-Day Wear: Each sensor is designed to be worn on the back of the upper arm for up to 14 days, offering extended monitoring without frequent replacements. (Note: Some newer versions like FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus offer 15-day wear).
Small and Discreet: About the size of two stacked US quarters, the sensor is small, comfortable to wear, and can be discreetly scanned through clothing.
Painless Application: Applied with a simple applicator, a thin filament is placed just under the skin for accurate readings with minimal discomfort.
No Fingerstick Calibrations Required: The system provides accurate sensor readings without the need for routine fingerstick calibrations, simplifying glucose management. (Note: Fingersticks may still be required if symptoms don't match readings or if readings are suspected to be inaccurate).
Water-Resistant: The sensor is water-resistant and can be worn while swimming, showering, or exercising (up to 1 meter/3 feet of water for 30 minutes).
Optional Real-Time Alarms: The FreeStyle Libre 2 system offers customizable real-time alarms that can alert users to high or low glucose levels, enhancing proactive diabetes management. These alarms can even be silenced for up to 6 hours.
Compatibility: Designed for use with the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or a compatible smartphone app (FreeStyle Libre 2 app) to view and manage glucose data.
Age Indication: Cleared for use by individuals with diabetes aged 4 years and older (with the Libre 2 sensor; Libre 2 Plus sensor for ages 2 and older).
Uses
Diabetes Management: Provides continuous glucose data, trends, and patterns to help individuals and healthcare professionals make informed decisions about diet, exercise, medication, and insulin adjustments.
Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia Detection: Aids in detecting episodes of high (hyperglycemia) and low (hypoglycemia) blood glucose, allowing for timely intervention.
Reduced Fingerstick Burden: Significantly reduces or eliminates the need for painful and inconvenient fingerstick blood glucose checks.
Improved A1C Levels: Studies have shown that consistent use of the FreeStyle Libre system can lead to significant reductions in A1C levels.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Offers greater freedom and flexibility for people with diabetes, allowing them to monitor their glucose levels discreetly and conveniently throughout their daily activities.

Product accuracy
The last 2 CGM have been failed at day 10, even worse, they gave me wrong measurements showing me hipoglisemic leves near 50’s. I am not sure if these have been verified by manufacturers or if are really original products. I have bought more but not sure to use them. Products really lokks great but 2 in a row with the same problem have scared me.
