How to use the FreeStyle LibreLink app

 

The FreeStyle LibreLink app is the perfect companion for the FreeStyle Libre sensor, helping you to easily monitor your glucose levels and share data with your diabetes team.

Using the app

The FreeStyle LibreLink app shares many features with the FreeStyle Libre reader. Downloading the app allows your phone to communicate with the FreeStyle Libre sensor just as a reader would,~ so you can monitor your glucose levels easily through your mobile.

You should check that your phone is compatible with the technology before downloading the software.

How does it work?

The NFC or near-field communication technology in your phone connects with the sensor. When you hold your phone close to the sensor, it will read the data and display:

·       your current glucose level

·       a trend arrow indicating how your glucose is changing

·       a graph showing your glucose history for up to eight hours

Up to 90 days’ worth of data can be stored on the app to help produce and share reports based on sensor readings.

Flash Glucose Monitoring advantages

FreeStyle Libre sensors use flash glucose monitoring to record glucose levels every 15 minutes. Rather than taking readings from your blood, the sensors gather data from interstitial fluid, the liquid that surrounds your body’s cells.

Trend arrows displayed on the FreeStyle LibreLink app show whether your glucose levels are rising or falling, so you can better understand how your diet and habits affect your levels, and help manage your diabetes accordingly.

Monitoring your glucose levels continuously over a longer period of time also allows you to see how your symptoms fluctuate, even when you wouldn’t normally be able to test yourself. The FreeStyle Libre sensor makes it possible to keep track of your glucose levels even while you’re asleep – you can check the data collected overnight when you wake up in the morning.^

 

Connecting with your diabetes teamǁ

The glucose data recorded by your sensor means you can get the bigger picture on your diabetes.

FreeStyle LibreLink allows you to connect with your diabetes team via LibreView₼  sharing your glucose history, no matter where you are.

Once you’ve downloaded the app, ask your healthcare team to send an invitation to connect using an email address. The request will appear in the ‘Connected Apps’ section of the app.

Alternatively, you can connect by entering your team’s practice ID in the LibreView menu under ‘Connected Apps’.

 

A successful connection grants your team automatic access to your data,± so you won’t need to manually send readings and reports before appointments.

 

Tips and tricks

Added features include a text-to-speech option, which makes glucose readings more accessible for people who are visually impaired or have difficulty using smartphones. A note-writing function also allows you to track your diet, exercise, insulin use, and any other relevant information for a more comprehensive understanding of your glucose readings.

~The FreeStyle LibreLink app and the FreeStyle Libre reader have similar but not identical features. Finger pricks are required if readings do not match symptoms or expectations. The FreeStyle Libre sensor communicates with the FreeStyle Libre reader that started it or the FreeStyle LibreLink app that started it. A sensor started by the FreeStyle Libre reader will also communicate with the FreeStyle LibreLink app. The FreeStyle LibreLink app is only compatible with certain mobile devices and operating systems. Please check the website for more information about device compatibility before using the app.Use of FreeStyle LibreLink requires registration with LibreView.

^For a complete glycaemic picture, scan your Sensor once every 8 hours .

ǁ Transfer of glucose data between applications depends on mobile connectivity.

₼ The LibreView website is only compatible with certain operating systems and browsers. Please check www.libreview.com for additional information.

±Use of FreeStyle LibreLink requires registration with LibreView. Automatic upload requires a wireless internet connection or mobile data connection.
