Editor's Review
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is designed to help you monitor your glucose levels using your smartphone and a FreeStyle Libre Sensor. 📱 No more routine fingersticks! 👋 Simply hold your phone near the sensor to get a glucose reading. This app is compatible with both 10-day and 14-day sensors, offering flexibility and convenience. 🎉
Key Features:
- Painless Glucose Checks: Scan your FreeStyle Libre Sensor with your phone for a quick and painless glucose reading. No more lancets or test strips! 🥳
- Comprehensive Data: View your current glucose reading, trend arrow, and glucose history, all in one place. See how your glucose levels are changing over time. 📈
- Tracking Tools: Add notes to track your food intake, insulin use, and exercise. Understand how these factors impact your glucose levels and make informed decisions. ✍️
- Glucose Reports: Access detailed glucose reports, including your Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP). Share these reports with your healthcare provider for better insights and treatment adjustments. 📊
- LibreView Connectivity: Connect with healthcare professionals through LibreView. Share your glucose data and receive personalized advice and support. 🧑⚕️
Important Considerations:
While the FreeStyle LibreLink app offers numerous benefits, it's essential to be aware of the following:
- The app requires the use of a FreeStyle Libre Sensor.
- If you are using the FreeStyle LibreLink app, you must also have access to a blood glucose monitoring system as the App does not provide one.
- Fingersticks are required for treatment decisions when you see the Check Blood Glucose symbol, when symptoms do not match system readings, when you suspect readings may be inaccurate, or when you experience symptoms that may be due to high or low blood glucose.
- Compatibility may vary between phones and operating systems. Check the FreeStyle Libre website for a list of compatible devices.
For more detailed information on using the FreeStyle LibreLink app, refer to the User’s Manual, accessible through the app. You can also contact Abbott Diabetes Care Customer Support for a printed manual. 👍
