Diabetes management is quickly transitioning from being a physical and figurative pain to seamless and pain-free thanks to new devices hitting the market like the new Abbott FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor.
Working with an accompanying sensor that's worn on the arm, the device is capable of taking flash readings without the need for the user to draw blood from their fingertip. Users can utilize the data that's captured to see how much of an insulin dosage they might need, how they are doing over the course of a longer period of time and much more.
The accompanying arm sensor that works with the Abbott FreeStyle Libre glucose monitor will stick securely to the user extended periods and even features water resistance to let wearers shower or swim without worry.
