This product gives my niece that small bit of comfort each day by not getting her sugars test with finger pricks each day. It helps my family and I to monitor closely without having to wake her up. It can give her parents and family peace of mind monitoring her reducing the fear and heartbreak a family can experience with diabetes.

#1785

My daughter has type 1 diabetes and we could not live without this device. Her bold sugar levels are much easier to control with diet and exercise with the freestyle libre and she needs less insulin and less finger pricking to check blood sugar levels. Her HBA1C has come down to 7.5 at her last clinic with the help of this device.
