Hi Tony,
note that this is the Freestyle Libre 1 that uses NFC to read the sensor
either with the provided scanner or an NFC-enabled phone. It's very easy
to miss a low during the night with this device...
The new Freestyle Libre 2 uses Bluetooth and has real-time capabilities.
This is a major change as scanning during the night wasn't happening as
the patient was sleeping.

All the best,

TS.
The FreeStyle Libre system is the #1 sensor-based glucose monitoring
system used worldwide. The FreeStyle Libre system eliminates the need
for painful routine finger pricks offering an easy way to check glucose
with a painless 1-second scan even through clothing.
Description
How To Apply
The small, discreet sensor worn on the back of the upper arm
continuously measures the glucose concentration in the body's
interstitial fluid. It is worn for up to 14 days and is water-resistant
so continues to work while you shower, swim or exercise.
You can use the FreeStyle Libre reader or FreeStyle LibreLink app to
scan your FreeStyle Libre sensor and receive your current glucose
reading, up to 8 hours of glucose history and an indication of where
your glucose is heading. For a complete glycaemic picture, you must
scan
your FreeStyle Libre sensor every 8 hours.
