FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring – [Technology discontinued]

This guidance has been withdrawn because Freestyle Libre 2 was discontinued in August 2025. At the time of withdrawal, no devices for intermittently scanned (‘flash’) continuous glucose monitoring were available in the UK.

HTW has responded to a request to commence an evidence review to appraise the clinical and cost effectiveness evidence on use of continuous glucose monitoring  in people living with diabetes treated with once a day basal insulin injections.

This work will start imminently and a topic exploration report (TER) will be prepared to inform the HTW Assessment Group decision on whether to accept this onto the HTW work programme and produce a new evidence review and guidance for NHS Wales

We have also produced reports on real-time continuous glucose monitoring.
