This decision on which option students want is driven by things like Coronavirus concerns, travel costs and their style of learning. At ProTrainigs and our sister company ITG Instructor …
Libre 2 Glucose Tester – continuous monitoring sugar levels
The Libre 2 glucose tester is different from traditional finger-prick testers as you wear the sensor and record the data on your mobile phone or a special data reader. This allows the wearer to have a lot more data on their glucose levels throughout the day and they can check their levels painlessly at any time.
