Flash glucose monitoring has revolutionized diabetes management, and the FreeStyle LibreLink app is at the forefront of this innovation. Compatible with both the FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors, this app allows you to effortlessly monitor your glucose levels by simply scanning the sensor with your smartphone. For users of the FreeStyle Libre 2 system, the app also provides timely alerts for low or high glucose levels, enhancing your ability to manage your condition effectively. [12]
The FreeStyle LibreLink app offers a range of features designed to give you comprehensive control over your diabetes:
- View your current glucose readings, trends, and historical data to understand your glucose patterns better.
- Receive alerts for low or high glucose levels when using the FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors [2].
- Access detailed reports such as Time in Target Range and Daily Profiles to track your progress over time.
- Share your data with your healthcare provider and family members for better support and management [3].
When using the app alongside the FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor, it's important to understand how the signals work. You can receive signals either on your smartphone or the FreeStyle Libre 2 scanner, but not both simultaneously. To receive alerts on your phone, you must initiate the sensor through the app. Conversely, to use the scanner, you'll need to start the sensor with the scanner itself. Note that if you start the sensor with the scanner, you can still scan it with your phone, but the app and scanner do not communicate with each other. To ensure you capture all your data, scan the sensor every 8 hours with the device you're using. For a complete overview of your data across devices, visit LibreView.com.
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is specifically designed to help patients with diabetes monitor their glucose levels when used in conjunction with a sensor. For detailed instructions on using the app, refer to the manual accessible within the app itself. If you need a printed copy, you can contact Abbott Diabetes Care Customer Service.
Before using the FreeStyle LibreLink app, it's advisable to consult with your healthcare professional to ensure it's the right fit for your needs and to discuss any questions about using the app for treatment decisions.
