On Sept. 3, 2014, Abbott announced it had received CE Mark (Conformite Europeenne) for its FreeStyleﾮ Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System, a revolutionary new glucose sensing technology for people with diabetes. The system eliminates the need for routine finger pricks, reading glucose levels through a sensor that can be worn on the back of the upper arm for up to 14 days.

In addition, no finger prick calibration is neededﾗa key differentiator from current continuous glucose monitoring systems.
