Flash glucose monitoring has revolutionized how individuals with diabetes manage their condition, 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 enables users to check their glucose levels effortlessly by scanning the sensor with their smartphone. For those using the FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors, the app offers the added advantage of receiving alerts for low or high glucose levels, enhancing proactive diabetes management. [12]
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is a comprehensive tool that allows you to:
- View current glucose readings, trends, and historical 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;
- 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 scanner, it's important to note that signals can only be sent to either the scanner or your phone, but not both simultaneously. To receive signals on your phone, you must launch the sensor through the app. Conversely, to use the FreeStyle Libre 2 scanner, you need to activate the sensor with the scanner. If you initiate the sensor using the scanner, you can still scan it with your phone.
It's crucial to understand that the app and scanner do not communicate with each other. To ensure comprehensive data, you should scan the sensor with your chosen device every 8 hours. Failure to do so may result in incomplete data in your reports. You can access and download data from all your devices at LibreView.com.
