Flash glucose monitoring revolutionizes diabetes management, and the FreeStyle LibreLink app is at the forefront of this innovation. Approved for use with both the FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors, this app allows you to monitor your glucose levels seamlessly by simply scanning the sensor with your smartphone. With the FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors, you can also receive timely alerts for both low and high glucose levels, enhancing your ability to manage your condition effectively. [12]
The FreeStyle LibreLink app offers a comprehensive suite of features to help you stay on top of your glucose levels:
- View your current glucose readings, track trends, and review the history of your glucose measurements.
- Receive alerts for low or high glucose levels when using FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors [2].
- Access detailed reports, such as Time in Target Range and Daily Profiles, to better understand your glucose patterns.
- Share your glucose data with your healthcare provider and family members for collaborative care [3].
When using the app and the FreeStyle Libre 2 scanner, it's important to understand that the sensor can send signals either to the scanner or your phone, but not both simultaneously. To receive signals on your phone, you need to launch the sensor through the FreeStyle LibreLink app. Conversely, to receive signals on the FreeStyle Libre 2 scanner, you must activate the sensor using the scanner. If the sensor is initially launched with the scanner, you can still scan it with your phone later.
It's crucial to note that the app and scanner do not communicate with each other. To ensure you have complete data, scan the sensor with the device you are using every 8 hours. Failure to do so may result in incomplete reports. You can also download and view data from all your devices at LibreView.com.
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is specifically designed to measure glucose levels in diabetic patients when used in conjunction with a sensor. For detailed instructions on using the app, please refer to the manual accessible through the app itself. If you need a printed copy, contact Abbott Diabetes Care Customer Service.
Before using this product to make treatment decisions, it's advisable to consult with your healthcare professional to ensure it's suitable for your needs.
