3 fast facts to help you get started:

#1 To use the FreeStyle Libre 2 app,* you must register with LibreView.‡

LibreView‡ is a secure, cloud-based diabetes management system that allows you to easily share your glucose data with your healthcare professional or others, if you wish. Data is automatically uploaded to LibreView‡ when your phone is connected to the internet.

#2 You don’t need WiFi to check your glucose.

WiFi, or a mobile data connection, is only required for initial app setup and for sharing your glucose information with your healthcare team.‡ The app does not require a WiFi or mobile data connection to check your glucose or to record your current glucose readings. During periods when your phone is operating in a disconnected state, your data will only be uploaded to LibreView‡ after a WiFi or mobile data connection is restored.

#3 The FreeStyle Libre 2 app* has three optional alarms.

The FreeStyle Libre 2 app* has three easy-to-use2 alarms that alert you when glucose is too high or too low, or when there is a loss of signal. The alarms are customizable; you can turn them on or off, and you can adjust sound and vibration.2

Customizable alarms alert you, so you can take action.

  

  • Low Glucose Alarm tells you if your glucose drops below the level that you set.

  • Signal Loss Alarm tells you if your sensor has not communicated with your FreeStyle Libre 2 app* for 20 minutes and you are not receiving Low or High Glucose Alarms.

To receive alarms, they must be turned on and your phone should be within 6 metres (20 ft) of you at all times. If you are out of range, you may not receive them. The alarms are customizable; you can turn them on or off, and you can adjust sound and vibration. Speak with your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate glucose level to set.

The FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor communicates with the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader that started it or the FreeStyle Libre 2 app that started it.
