Love My Libre is a family-run business, headed by Samantha, with help from her husband (he does the sewing) and two teenage children (they do the social media of course). We are based in the Midlands, with all manufacturing and assembly in the UK. We source components for our products from local suppliers where possible.

Librebands originate from Samantha’s 12-year-old son’s idea to make his mum’s glucose sensor look less like a medical device. His concept was to design an armband worn in a similar way to a runner wearing a phone on their arm. Development has produced our range of armbands for FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom G6 sensors; Librebands and Dexbands. These are specifically designed to add style to wearing medtech products and protect these from everyday obstacles, such as doorframes. 

Our armband covers can be worn for sports, swimming and everyday wear and can be taken on and off as required. The styles are intended to increase wearers’ confidence and reduce stigma associated with having diabetes. The overarching aim is to transform the look of a sensor to that of a sports accessory that fits with the athleisure look.

Our armbands have supported over 4,000 customers so far to keep their sensor in place and we also help people with diabetes through our Libre Life resources.
