Living With Your FreeStyle Libre System
Your FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System can be used during
a wide variety of activities.
Activity What You Need To Know
Bathing,
Showering, and
Swimming
The Reader is not water-resistant and should
NEVER be submerged in water or other liquid.
Your Sensor is water-resistant and can be worn
while bathing, showering, or swimming.
Note: Do NOT take your Sensor deeper than
3 feet (1 meter) or immerse it longer than 30
minutes in water.
Sleeping Your Sensor should not interfere with your sleep. It
is recommended that you scan your Sensor before
going to sleep and when you wake up because
your Sensor holds only 8 hours of data at a time.
For example, if you sleep for 9 hours without
scanning your Sensor, 1 hour of data will not be
collected and a gap will appear on your glucose
graph.
If you have reminders set to go o while you are
sleeping, place the Reader nearby.
