DownloadFor those managing diabetes, the FreeStyle LibreLink app offers a convenient way to monitor your glucose levels, especially when paired with the FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors. With the FreeStyle Libre 2 system, you can receive automatic glucose readings updated every minute, a feature that enhances real-time monitoring. This continuous update allows you to stay on top of your glucose levels with greater accuracy and immediacy. Additionally, the app will alert you with alarms when your glucose levels are too low or too high, ensuring you can take action promptly. [1] [2]
The FreeStyle LibreLink app provides a range of functionalities to help you manage your diabetes effectively:
- View your current glucose level, trend arrow, and historical glucose data
- Receive alarms for low or high glucose levels with the FreeStyle Libre 2 system [2]
- Track your food intake, insulin usage, and exercise by adding notes
- Access reports such as Time in Range and Daily Patterns to better understand your glucose trends
- Share your glucose data with your healthcare provider and family members, with your consent [3]
Compatibility with Smartphones
The app's compatibility may vary based on your smartphone and its operating system. For a list of compatible devices, visit FreeStyleLibre.com.
Using the App and Reader with the Same Sensor
It's important to note that alarms are exclusive to either the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or your smartphone, not both simultaneously. To get alarms on your smartphone, you must start the sensor using the app. Conversely, to receive alarms on the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader, initiate the sensor with the reader. Once started with the reader, you can still scan the sensor with your smartphone. Keep in mind that the app and reader do not share data, so for comprehensive reporting, scan the sensor every 8 hours with the device you're using. You can upload and view data from all your devices at LibreView.com.
