This product consists of two parts, sensor and reader. [[File:Sensor.PNG|thumb|left|Libre Freestyle Sensor]]. Both are communicated via NFC which means the reader need to be close enough to interact with sensor. The sensor is small and lightweight. Thus, it is also a water-resistant. It is designed to be worn for up to 14 days and it need to be applied on the back of the upper arm. When sensor is applied, a thin, flexible and sterile fibre is inserted just under the skin.

Introduction
The purpose of this project is to interrogate the commercially available product of flash glucose monitoring by building a wearable device. The importance of continuous glucose monitoring is to maintain the normal glucose tolerance in the human body. It would be useful for people who face life-threatening diabetes symptoms since if the diabetic patients take inappropriate actions without knowing their real-time blood sugar would result in losing their life. For this project, we choose the Freestyle Libre company’s glucose monitoring device. We build a wearable device that provides users with the ability to get the readings at any time on their phone rather than using another company’s own-designed monitor reader equipment. The application installed on users’ phone will display the data on their screen and store the readings in a remote server to allow them to access the information from different devices.
