Big news for Australians living with diabetes!
From 1 October 2026, the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor will be available through the NDSS CGM Subsidy as a standalone sensor (for use without an automated insulin delivery (AID) system). The world's smallest CGM sensor* with minute-by-minute readings and a 15-day wear time, for ALL Australians with type 1 diabetes!
Also coming soon is the all-new Libre app^, with an updated, intuitive design, expanded alarm options #, and the ability to view your glucose readings directly on your Apple Watch†. The Libre app will work with both the Libre 3 Plus, and the Libre 2 Plus.
