What it is
FreeStyle Libra 3 Plus is the 15-day version of Abbot’s smallest sensor. It has the same flat, 1-gram shape as Libra 3. You can wear it one day longer, children can use it from a younger age, and it is approved for more insulin pumps, including Omnıpod 5 where that is offered.
How it works
You put the sensor on the back of your upper arm. It is ready to use 60 minutes later. From then on it measures the glucose in the fluid just under your skin and sends a reading every minute to the FreeStyle Libre 3 app on a compatible phone, or to the Libra 3 reader. You get arrows that show where your glucose is heading and a graph of your day. You can also turn on alarms for high and low glucose and an alarm for when the signal drops.
If you use an insulin pump that can work with a sensor, Libra 3 Plus can send its readings to the pump, and the pump uses them to adjust your insulin. Libra 3 Plus is approved for mylife Loop. In some countries, Insulet sells Omnıpod 5 Pods that work with Libra 3 Plus. Which pairing you can use depends on your country and on your diabetes team.
The sensor is fine in water down to 1 metre for 30 minutes, so you can shower, swim and do sport with it.
Who it’s for
Libra 3 Plus is for adults and for children from 2 years of age who want a reading every minute from a very small sensor. It also suits you if you plan to connect your sensor to an insulin pump that supports it.
Questions
Does it use the same app as Libra 3?
Yes. Libra 3 Plus works with the FreeStyle Libre 3 app and the Libra 3 reader. The app and the reader don't share data, so pick one of them for each sensor.
Which insulin pumps can use it?
It is approved for the mylife Loop system (the mylife CamAPS FX app with the mylife YpsoPump). In some countries, such as the UK, Omnıpod 5 works with it if you use the matching Pod version.
Can I use it without a pump?
Yes. On its own it is a normal glucose sensor that sends live readings to your phone or reader.
How long does it take to start?
The first reading shows up 60 minutes after you put the sensor on.
Are the sensors original?
Yes. We sell new, original sensors made by Abbot.
