FreeStyle Libre 2 and FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus

The Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 and FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) worn for 14 days on the back of the upper arm that measures glucose every minute.

The sensor is water resistant and can be in three feet of water for up to 30 minutes. It is compatible with Omnipod automated insulin delivery system. The Libre app is compatible with iOS or Android.
