Flash glucose monitoring has revolutionized the way people with diabetes manage their condition, and the FreeStyle LibreLink app is at the forefront of this technology. Designed to work seamlessly with the FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors, this app allows you to monitor your glucose levels effortlessly by simply scanning the sensor with your smartphone. For users of the FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors, the app goes a step further by providing alerts when your glucose levels are too low or too high, ensuring you stay informed and safe. [12]
With the FreeStyle LibreLink app, you gain access to a wealth of information that can help you manage your diabetes more effectively. You can:
- View your current glucose readings, trends, and historical data for a comprehensive understanding of your glucose levels over time.
- Receive timely alerts for low or high glucose levels when using the FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors. [2]
- Generate detailed reports such as Time in Target Range and Daily Profiles to track your progress and make informed decisions about your health.
- Share your data with your healthcare provider and family members, fostering better communication and support. [3]
When using the FreeStyle LibreLink app alongside the FreeStyle Libre 2 system, it's important to understand how the sensor interacts with both the app and the scanner. The sensor can send signals to either your smartphone or the FreeStyle Libre 2 scanner, but not both simultaneously. To receive signals on your phone, you must launch the sensor through the app. Conversely, to receive signals on the scanner, you must use the scanner to activate the sensor. If you start the sensor with the scanner, you can still scan it with your phone later.
Keep in mind that the app and scanner do not communicate with each other. To ensure you have complete data, scan the sensor with the device you're using every 8 hours; otherwise, your reports might not reflect the full range of your glucose levels. For a comprehensive view of your data from all devices, you can download and review it at LibreView.com.
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is specifically designed to measure glucose levels in patients with diabetes when used with a compatible sensor. For detailed instructions on using the app, refer to the manual accessible through the app itself. If you need a printed copy, reach out to 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. For more information, visit FreeStyleLibre.com.
