Frequently asked questions
What is the armband with holder for the FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus used for, and does it help if the sensor comes loose?
The armband carries your Freestyle Libre sensor in a holder on your arm and turns it into a piece of jewelry, for example when you want to temporarily go without tape, in summer with short sleeves or while swimming. It is not a solution for a sensor that is already coming loose, because wearing it does not replace secure sensor adhesive; in that case, follow the sensor manufacturer’s instructions.
Which sensor is the armband with holder for the FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus designed for, and does it also fit the Plus generation?
The transparent holder is sized for the Freestyle Libre 3 sensor and, according to the product information, is also intended for the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus. According to the product information, it also accommodates round fitness trackers of a similar size.
Is the armband with holder for the FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus, or the sensor underneath it, waterproof? Can I shower, bathe or swim with it?
The band is waterproof. Abbott states that the Freestyle Libre sensor is waterproof in up to 1 m of water for up to 30 minutes; this limit also applies when wearing the armband. After swimming, briefly rinse the band to remove chlorine or salt residue.
What armband size fits a child or adults, and how do I measure correctly?
The armband can be adjusted continuously for an arm circumference of up to 35 cm. The elastic bands are 40 cm long and can be shortened with scissors without needing to sew them. The relevant measurement is the circumference at the point where your sensor is located; shorten it gradually, as a shortened band cannot be made longer again. Our product information does not specify a minimum size.
Can a band that fits too tightly distort the sensor readings?
Abbott advises touching or pressing the Freestyle Libre sensor as little as possible. Therefore, do not fasten the band any tighter than necessary; it secures itself without clips or seams. Abbott has not provided us with any information about the effect of a tight band on sensor readings.
Can I exercise while wearing the band without the sensor shifting or being pulled off?
Yes, the elastic band is waterproof and can be adjusted continuously to fit your arm, so you can also wear it while exercising. However, we cannot guarantee that the sensor will not shift or come off in the event of physical contact or a fall, as wearing it does not replace secure sensor adhesive.
Can I wash and reuse the band after removing it, or is it a single-use product?
The band is designed for reuse: Wash it at 30 °C in the machine on a gentle cycle. Do not iron it at a high temperature or put it in the dryer, otherwise the elasticity will suffer.
Where may I wear the sensor, for example on my abdomen or thigh instead of my arm?
Abbott specifies only the back of the upper arm as the placement site for the Freestyle Libre sensor; the abdomen or thigh are not included. The armband is designed to be worn on the arm.
What is the difference between the armband with holder for the FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus and an overpatch?
The armband carries the sensor in a transparent holder that sits around the arm with an elastic band, without additional adhesive on your skin. An overpatch, on the other hand, is tape that is applied over the sensor. We do not make any claims about which option holds better.
What do the sensor armbands look like? Are there different colors and patterns?
The holder is transparent and comes with a black elastic band. Replacement bands in additional colors and patterns are available separately.
