Abbott′s FreeStyle® Libre 2, with Optional Real-Time Alarms, Secures CE Mark for Use in Europe

Interesting but what have they actually done? The information suggests that the reader is picking up signals from the sensor like CGM but the video on you tube is showing a guy doing a scan - FGM?

Looks like the reader reads the sensor (regularly or constantly) and has an alarm feature for when it loses the signal. Alongside normal scans, whenever you like.
Then there is another alarm feature for hypos or hypers.

I guess they are trying to tap into the market that needs night time CGM hypo alarms.

My concern is whether they have eliminated compression lows (when I sleep on the sensor and it thinks I die with a red flatline). If they haven’t prevented those, the night time hypo alarm feature could be a real (and irritating) problem...
 
Yes but Abbott's video on you tube shows a guy doing a scan and then the alarm goes off - no indication of a sensor continuously transmitting.


Will be interesting to see what we actually get.
 
Hi, after a conversation with my DSN she said I should use the freestyle libre because of my hypo unawareness, if it has no alarm I can't really see the point and think it would be a waste of NHS funds, are there any other cgm's with alarms available on the NHS ? Thanks.
