Small and lightweight3, the reader is easy to hold and carry with you at all times. The ability to scan as many times as you like - discreetly wherever and whenever4 you want - allows you to better understand the impact of actions like food, exercise and insulin on glucose levels.
The reader stores 90 days of glucose data for you to look back on. You can spot patterns and identify areas to target with your Healthcare Professional then check your improvement. You can also set customisable reminders and alerts with sound or vibrations, and add your own notes to help interpret your data.
