The FreeStyle Libre 2 system provides an easy-to-use alarm experience by offering alarms that can be customised for low glucose and also for high glucose level, and a technical feature that notifies the user of signal loss (e.g., when the sensor is not communicating with the reader).
Finger pricks are required if your glucose readings and alarms do not match your symptoms or your expectations.
These can be set based on Android and IOS devices as below:
