Frequently asked questions
What replaces the FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor?
Abbott has replaced the original Libre 2 with the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus. The Plus version extends wear time from 14 to 15 days and works with the same FreeStyle LibreLink app.
Can I still use my Libre 2 sensors?
Yes — sensors you already have remain usable until their expiry date, with the same app. When you next buy, choose the Libre 2 Plus.
Should I choose Libre 2 Plus or Libre 3 Plus?
Both wear for 15 days. The Libre 3 Plus is smaller and streams readings automatically every minute via the Libre 3 app; the Libre 2 Plus uses the FreeStyle LibreLink app. Check which app and sensor your phone and diabetes team support.
The FreeStyle Libre system is a medical device for glucose monitoring in people with diabetes. Always read the instructions for use, and discuss treatment decisions with your diabetes care team.
