The sensors used in Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 system can help people living with diabetes keep track of their glucose levels without fingerstick testing. (Like other CGM systems, this system is not intended to replace “traditional” glucose testing; however, it can help diabetes patients go longer between fingerstick tests.)
Abbott® FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor
As you would expect from Abbott’s most recent CGM system, the FreeStyle Libre 3 system is a significant leap forward from its predecessor. The same goes for this system’s sensors, which are the smallest used in any CGM system to date* while still delivering a 14-day lifespan. When you do need replacement sensors for your FreeStyle Libre 3 system, get these components the easy way by ordering them from Advanced Diabetes Supply!

Product Inquiry
With the FreeStyle Libre 3 system, people with diabetes can get updates on their glucose levels without having to do a fingerstick test.§ This CGM system is built around its sensors, which still offer a 14-day lifespan. Abbott’s CGMs are known for introducing some exciting new features.
Notably, the sensors used in the FreeStyle Libre 3 system are equivalent in size to two stacked pennies—making them the thinnest, smallest* CGM sensors in history. As if that wasn’t enough, the FreeStyle Libre 3 system’s sensors can automatically send real-time, minute by minute glucose readings to a user’s compatible smartphone along with a wider Bluetooth range.
Failure to use FreeStyle Libre 2 or FreeStyle Libre 3 systems as instructed in labeling may result in missing a severe low or high glucose event and/or making a treatment decision, resulting in injury. If glucose alarms and readings do not match symptoms or expectations, use a fingerstick value from a blood glucose meter for treatment decisions. Seek medical attention when appropriate or contact Abbott at 855-632-8658 or FreeStyleLibre.us for safety info.
Q: How Long Does FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor Last?
A: The sensors used in Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 system have a lifespan of 14 days, as was the case for their predecessors.
Q: Does The FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor Have A Needle?
A: The FreeStyle Libre 3 system is painless to apply1 and wear1. A small needle is used as part of the application process for the FreeStyle Libre 3 system’s sensors. That said, no needle is left in the application site after applying the sensor, and this process is pain-free for most FreeStyle Libre 3 users.
Q: Where Can I Put My FreeStyle Libre 3 Sensor?
A: FreeStyle Libre 3 system sensors should be applied to the back of a user’s upper arm. The application area should:
- Remain flat during everyday activities
- Be free of tattoos, scars, and moles
- Be 2.5 cm or more from any insulin injection sites
Q: Is the FreeStyle Libre 3 System Better Than 2?
A: Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 system offers many advantages over the FreeStyle Libre 2 system. That includes improvements to the newer system’s sensors, which are the smallest* and most accurate†,†† 14-day CGM sensors available.
Q: Is the FreeStyle Libre 3 System Available In the US?
A: The FreeStyle Libre 3 system received FDA clearance in May 2022 and officially hit the US market that October.
Q: What Age Is The FreeStyle Libre 3 Approved For?
A: This CGM system has been approved for use by people with diabetes who are at least four years and older.
Q: Do You Have to Scan the Libre 3 Sensor?
A: No—this system automatically sends glucose updates to a compatible smartphone device.§
