ABBOTT PARK, Ill. – Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 reader is now available to Medicare beneficiaries. The reader features a small, thin and discreet sensor, and can also be used by patients who may not have a compatible smartphone. "FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring systems are prescribed by more doctors for their Medicare patients than any other system," said Jared Watkin, senior vice president for Abbott's diabetes care business. "With recent coverage expansion, there are another 2 million Medicare patients who manage their diabetes with insulin that are now eligible to use the FreeStyle Libre 3 system to track their glucose levels and have better health outcomes.” Abbott received clearance from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the Freestyle Libre 3 in April.
