    The more time you spend here, the better your A1c.

  • Above Target Glucose Range 

    Shows when your glucose was too high so you can pinpoint what may have caused it to spike.

  • Below Target Glucose Range

    Shows when your glucose was too low so you can pinpoint what may have caused it to dip.

How to use your data in everyday situations.

Here’s how real-life moments can turn into learning opportunities.

Before breakfast.

You wake up, check your FreeStyle LibreLink app or reader, and see your glucose at 112 mg/dL and rising. That trend arrow tells you something’s shifting. Maybe it’s stress, a late-night snack, or just your morning routine. 

What it could mean: This is your cue to pause and consider small adjustments, like timing your insulin or breakfast differently.

After a walk.

You finish your usual loop and suddenly feel shaky or sweaty. You check your FreeStyle LibreLink app or reader and your glucose is reading low.

What it could mean: This is a sign to bring your glucose levels back up, and to make sure you have a snack or meal before your next bout of movement.

The more you track, the clearer patterns become.

The longer you use your FreeStyle Libre system, the more your data reveals about what works best for your glucose. You’ll start to see how one choice today shapes how you feel tomorrow.

Quick tip: Try setting a TIR goal with your doctor.

Take a moment each week to look at your Time In Range (TIR), and try setting a new goal for yourself with the help of your healthcare provider or healthcare team. Goal setting is a way to measure your progress and watch how you overcome challenges. You’ve got this.
