Is Freestyle InsuLinx a preview of Freestyle Libre?

I want to know whether InsuLinx is a preview of Freestyle Libre. I don't want one though I want to know. Is it a preview?

No, it's just a BG monitor made by Abbott. It looks similar, but that's about it.

To me, it looks like it has the similar basic functions as the Libre reader - minus the crucial ability to scan the sensor worn in the arm.

Although you don't want one, but are intrigued by them - you should request a free one to make your own mind up

Compared to the Libre it takes a lot less blood, why didn't they make the libre use the same strips I'll never know!

Both are same size, screen is monochrome on insulinx and quite dim.

Both have bolus wizards.

Is it a 'preview' - nope!
