Freestyle Libre Sensors and Radiation
Post Body

I have had the opportunity recently to test the sensors for the Freestyle Libre 2 after exposure to several tests/scans (thanks to being a medical disaster). The directions with the device state it needs to be removed and not trusted following any exposure but my personal results were:

  • Multiple back x rays - no impact on sensor

  • Chest x-rays - no impact on sensor

  • CT scan of chest and abdomen - no impact on sensor

  • Fluoroscopy of opposite side of the body (right chest with sensor on left arm) - no impact on sensor

  • Fluoroscopy lasting 1.5 minutes on the arm with the sensor - sensor crashed shortly afterwards

Iā€™m not sure if I will be allowed to test what happens to it at my scheduled MRI (or if Iā€™m brave enough to even want to try testing it).

Of course, these were my experiences and ymmv.
