The FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System is a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device with real-time alarms capability indicated for the management of diabetes in persons age 4 and older.**
WARNINGS/LIMITATIONS**: The System must not be used with automated insulin dosing (AID) systems, including closed-loop and insulin suspend systems. Remove the sensor before MRI, CT scan, X-ray, or diathermy treatment. Do not take high doses of vitamin C (more than 500 mg per day), as this may falsely raise your Sensor readings. Failure to use the System according to the instructions for use may result in missing a severe low blood glucose or high blood glucose event and/or making a treatment decision that may result in injury. If glucose alarms and readings from the System do not match symptoms or expectations, use a fingerstick blood glucose value to make diabetes treatment decisions. Seek medical attention when appropriate and contact Abbott toll-free 855-632-8658 or visit ** www.FreeStyleLibre.us for detailed indications for use and safety information.
**Please refer to www.FreeStyleLibre.us for the indications and important safety information.

What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
Medicaid is an assistance program. It serves low-income people of various ages. Medical bills are paid from federal, state and local tax funds. Patients usually pay no part of the costs or very little for covered medical expenses, although a small co-payment is sometimes required. Medicaid is a federal-state program. It is run by state and local governments within federal guidelines, so it varies from state to state.
Medicaid es un programa de asistencia. Atiende a personas de bajos ingresos de distintas edades. Las facturas médicas se pagan con fondos procedentes de los impuestos federales, estatales y locales. Los pacientes suelen pagar poco o nada por los gastos médicos cubiertos, aunque a veces se exige un pequeño copago. Medicaid es un programa federal-estatal. Lo gestionan los gobiernos estatales y locales dentro de las directrices federales, por lo que varía de un estado a otro.
