The app is well designed compared to something like the Contour Diabetes app.īoth your smartphone and Reader can also receive glucose level alerts over Bluetooth transmitted by the Sensor. This limitation is more understandable on the less capable Reader. It feels natural to do so but it’s not supported. My one big complaint about the app is that you can’t zoom and pan the graphs. You also get historical graphs and daily averages. Your experience and feature availability in other regions may vary wildly.īoth the reader and LibreLink app give you glucose level trends along with your current glucose level. I’ve been using the Norwegian edition of the Android version of the LibreLink app. Abbott ships different versions of the app in different regions to comply with different regulatory requirements. You need to install the FreeStyle LibreLink app (Android or iOS versions available) to scan the FreeStyle Libre Sensor. Your experiences using either device should be similar assuming your phone has an okay NFC-antenna. Some phones have tiny short-range NFC antennas that make scanning the sensor a pain. The Reader has a big NFC antenna and can easily pick up the signal from the sensor. I want to discuss the pros and cons of using the dedicated FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader device versus an NFC-capable smartphone. I’ve previously shared my experiences on what it’s like to wear the sensor (with photos of the Libre Sensor.) The system can get up to eight hours of glucose readings by scanning an NFC sensor installed on the back of your upper arm. The LibreView software is not intended to provide treatment decisions or to be used as a substitute for professional healthcare advice.I’ve used the FreeStyle Libre 2 (“FreeStyle Libre 14-days” in some regions) flash glucose monitoring system for a year. ₼ The LibreView data management software is intended for use by both patients and healthcare professionals to assist people with diabetes and their healthcare professionals in the review, analysis and evaluation of historical glucose device data to support effective diabetes management. Use of LibreLinkUp registration with LibreView. Please check for more information about device compatibility before using the app. § The LibreLinkUp app is only compatible with certain mobile device and operating systems. Ѱ For children aged 4-12, a caregiver at least 18 years old is responsible for supervising, managing, and assisting them in using the FreeStyle Libre system and interpreting its readings. Sharing of glucose data requires registration with LibreView.

Ω The Reader can capture data from the sensor when it is within 1cm to 4cm of the sensor. ₸ Sensor is water resistant in up to 1 metre (3 feet) of water for a maximum of 30 minutes. ‡ 60-minute warm-up required when applying the sensor.
