WARNING: The FreeStyle Libre System can replace blood glucose testing

blood glucose test before deciding what to do or what treatment decision
to make as Sensor readings may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels:

Blood Glucose

accurate . For example, there may be times when
you get a low glucose reading but you do not
actually have low glucose .

Making Treatment Decisions – Getting Started
Before you start using the FreeStyle Libre System for treatment decisions,
make sure you have a good understanding of how the System works for
your body . Continue to use your blood glucose meter for treatment
decisions until you are comfortable with the information you receive
from your FreeStyle Libre System. This includes understanding that:
Sensor performance can vary in between Sensors, within a Sensor wear,
and in different situations .
Getting familiar with the System could take days, weeks, or even months .
The more you check readings from the FreeStyle Libre System with a
blood glucose meter, the better you will understand how the System
works for you .
