Personal blood sugar monitoring - 28 days - Supply and Analysis.

Summary:

Analyse your blood sugar response to meals and lifestyle. A 28 day kit, and - where you'd like it - our analysis and summary of your results. This enables you to make targeted changes to your diet and lifestyle as a result of the analysis we provide. Following this, we can make changes (where applicable) to your support programme as required, helping you to improve your health further.

What's included?

• Supply and delivery (UK only) of two Freestyle Libre 2 sensors, each lasting up to 14 days, and support setting up if you need it. You'll be able to see your blood sugar responses recorded every 15 minutes.
• Connecting your data (from the sensors) to our system so we can see your results, and help along the way if you need it.
• Our analysis of the results is included, which is dependent on the information you provide into the LibreLink App which you'll download as part of the monitoring period. We'll tell you which meals provide the best response for you (and your family if you're doing this together). This can help us to provide better recommendations for continued improvement or changes to your support programme as a result.

Compatibility between the system and your smartphone

Please note: you'll need to check yourself that your phone is compatible with the sensors provided.

From Abbott who make and supply the sensors (last checked November 2022): The Freestyle Linklink app is compatible with NFC-enabled smartphones running Android OS 5.0 or higher and iPhone 7 or later running iOS 11 or later. Chat to us if you need help identifying what Android or iOS version you have, and whether you have NFC.

Please see the Freestylelibre UK website if you need more info.

Is it right for me?

This is appropriate for those who want to understand how their body is currently reacting to food, as a result of what you're eating, your sleep, your exercise and your stress. In order to get the best out of it you'll want to log your food, exercise, sleep times (unless we're monitoring your fitbit separately already) into the LibreLink App which you'll download.

Given your individual response to food, snacks and drinks will change based on a number of factors such as sleep, stress and time of day, it's not always worth doing this before you've made other changes. Chat to us first to help decide if you're not sure whether to commit. We're not here to sell tests or technology, we only provide these services in order to help make life simpler for people so they can focus on the changes themselves rather than understanding technology.

If you'd like to purchase the sensors yourself but still get our analysis of the results, choose the other version of this product in our store.

In detail/questions:

This blood sugar monitoring is performed using a small electronic device which is put on your arm (a small needle goes into your arm - the insertion is painless for most people), and is connected to your smartphone. This looks at your blood sugar levels multiple times per hour.
