Flash Glucose Monitoring System (FGS e.g. Freestyle Libre®) Patient/Carer Agreement (Paediatric Diabetes Service)January 12th, 2018
Flash Glucose Monitoring is a small sensor that you wear on your skin. It stores your glucose (also known as sugar) levels every few minutes and you can access them by scanning the sensor whenever you want to. It is instead of the finger prick testing of your glucose needed at the moment. However, at present it isn’t clear from the trials that have been done whether it will be better for patient health. Patients using FGS will still need to perform finger prick tests at certain times as directed by their consultant e.g. before driving or when the FGS indicates certain glucose levels (higher or lower than normal range). It is also noted that there is no relevant standard of accuracy for this system.
