Accuracy of a 15-day Factory-Calibrated Continuous Glucose Monitoring System With Improved Sensor Design

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

The Libre 2 Plus and Libre 3 Plus Systems provide accurate glucose results across the dynamic range during the 15-day sensor wear period.

Study context

Population
Participants aged ≥2 years with paired continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and comparator data, 7 US sitesenrolled
Participants
