The FreeStyle Lite is an automated glucose monitoring system (AGMS) that allows individuals to self-test their blood glucose levels at home.

This system is designed for use by people with diabetes, enabling them to monitor their blood sugar levels throughout the day.
The FreeStyle Lite device is easy to use, even for those who may not be familiar with glucose monitoring systems. It features a simple, one-touch design that minimizes user error and provides accurate readings within 5 seconds.
