Our Story
Love My Libre is a small family business, born from an idea by my 12-year-old son who wanted to make his mum’s sensor look less like a medical device. His concept (see picture above) was to design an armband worn in a similar way to a runner wears a phone on their arm.
The name, Love My Libre, comes from the feeling of being free from the onus of diabetes injections after my car crash approach to diabetes care.
Love My Libre is owned and run by a type one, Samantha, and was not set up solely to sell products but support Libre sensor users in other ways too – that’s why our home page is styled to include links to our magazine and other items relating to diabetes and Libre sensors. The ambition is that we will become your go-to-resource.
Love My Libre was formally registered at Companies House in the UK in February 2019, and we later registered the designs of Libreband for protection of our unique products. We are commited to supporting those using MedTech to manage their diabetes.

We are proud to be a UK manufacturer and have put considerable investment into our design process to ensure that Librebands have a high-quality finish and that the armbands are strong and durable with an aesthetic that appeals to many Libre sensor wearers. It’s not founded on making it ‘pretty’ with stickers.
In 2019, we partnered with Warwick Manufacturing Group to further develop the armband in preparation for upgrading our production to use factory-based injection moulding processes. This stage took over 6 months from initial development of designs, to tooling for the moulds and production of the products - with lots of trials and samples in between!
It’s not just the casing either, we have researched trends in colours to ensure that our products reflect popular choices in athleisure and sportswear apparel.
