concentration in your blood. The sensor glucose levels are usually delayed by 5 to 10
minutes (or longer in some cases) compared with the actual blood glucose levels.
•
Therefore, the sensor glucose levels scanned by FreeStyle Libre sensor may differ from
the actual blood glucose levels measured by fingertip blood sampling. If the reading of
the sensor and actual blood glucose levels measured by fingertip blood sampling are
different, prioritize the blood glucose levels measured by fingertip blood sampling.
•
The sensor glucose levels scanned by FreeStyle Libre are just an approximation of the
blood glucose levels and are not approved as a substitute for the blood glucose levels
