Do you use FreeStyle Libre 2 to monitor your glucose? We’d love to hear from you! 4 August 2024 Advertorial With FreeStyle Libre 2, you can easily monitor your glucose levels on the go without the hassle of finger pricks.* The discreet, wearable sensor is worn on the back of the upper arm for up to 14 days, where it takes a glucose reading every single minute. These glucose readings are automatically displayed on the FreeStyle LibreLink app on your phone^, empowering you to make immediate, informed decisions. We’re lucky enough to regularly receive stories of what FreeStyle Libre 2 users like Jenni have been able to accomplish with the help of our technology. If FreeStyle Libre 2 has helped you, head to MyFreeStyleMoments.com.au to share your story and inspire others in our community to #WearitProud! Meet Jenni Jenni was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 15 years old, after experiencing an “unquenchable thirst” during a family holiday in Japan. Today, Jenni leads a very active lifestyle and enjoys activities such as snow skiing, tennis, golf, and swimming. She also runs her own relocation business, helping people to find homes to live in and schools for their children across Australia. Having previously relied on finger pricking to monitor her glucose levels, Jenni has been using FreeStyle Libre for a few years and describes it as an “absolute game changer… I used to use the finger prick method and it was probably six times a day that you would have to do it. So it was an inconvenience and interrupted your daily life.” Jenni appreciates how seamlessly the sensor and FreeStyle LibreLink app^ have integrated into her busy lifestyle, allowing her to track her glucose levels on the go while undertaking all the activities she loves. “FreeStyle Libre is really helpful for me on a day-to-day level when I’m going into a business meeting and I need to know where my blood sugar level is headed. And with a glance at my phone, I know exactly where I’m at… it just gives me peace of mind to know literally minute by minute where [my glucose] is going and what it’s doing”. Additionally, Jenni finds the optional glucose alarms± in the FreeStyle LibreLink app^ “provide an amazing amount of freedom”. These alarms have “made life a lot, lot easier” for Jenni, alerting her the minute her glucose levels are too low or too high, so she can act quickly to reduce glucose fluctuations, even when “in the middle of an activity… a business meeting… or sleeping at night time”.
