No needles. No blood droplets. Painless. Wireless. Convenient. Say hello to the adjectives that describe Abbott's FreeStyle Libre blood glucose testing system, newly released in Europe.



This system works by having a tiny filament inserted just under the skin, held there by an adhesive pad. A sensor the size and shape of a dime is worn on the arm for two weeks at a time.


Patients use a scanner about the size and shape of a smartphone and swipe it over the top of the sensor. Result? One second later, a digital read-out of the patient's blood glucose.


The system requires no calibration. The system works even if your shirt is covering the sensor.


The sensor offers continuous glucose management, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Meanwhile, Ambulatory Glucose Profiling (AGP) presents patients with a graph showing their blood sugar levels over any time frame they wish.


Maybe the most astonishing thing is that the FreeStyle Libre system can generate the patient's hemoglobin A1c-- that all-important measurement that largely dictates treatment that you could only previously obtain via a laboratory blood draw.
