The FreeStyle LibreLink app, designed for use with the FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors, revolutionizes glucose monitoring by allowing users to scan their sensor with a smartphone to check glucose levels. A significant advancement for FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensor users is the ability to receive automatic glucose readings every minute directly within the FreeStyle LibreLink app. This feature also includes alerts for low or high glucose levels, enhancing user safety and convenience.
With the FreeStyle LibreLink app, users can:
- View their current glucose level, trend arrow, and historical glucose data.
- Receive low or high glucose alarms when using the FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors.
- Log notes on food intake, insulin usage, and exercise.
- Access reports such as Time in Range and Daily Patterns to better understand their glucose trends.
- Share their glucose data with healthcare providers and family members, upon granting permission.
Compatibility with Smartphones
The app's compatibility may vary based on the smartphone model and operating system. For a list of compatible devices, visit http://FreeStyleLibre.com.
Using the App and Reader with the Same Sensor
It's important to note that alarms can only be received on either the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or the smartphone, not both simultaneously. To receive alerts on your smartphone, start the sensor using the app. Conversely, to receive alerts on the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader, initiate the sensor with the reader. After starting the sensor with the reader, you can still scan it using your smartphone. However, data is not shared between the app and the reader. To ensure comprehensive data collection, scan the sensor with the respective device every 8 hours. For a holistic view of your data, you can upload and review information from all your devices at LibreView.com.

Always consult a healthcare professional to determine if this product suits your needs or for guidance on using the data for treatment decisions.
