Do I need to scan to view my glucose information when I receive a glucose alarm with the Libre app?

The Libre app* notifies you the minute your glucose crosses the alarm† level you set and displays your current glucose and glucose trend arrow from your smartphone’s notifications without needing to scan.

* The FreeStyle Libre systems apps are only compatible with certain mobile devices and operating systems. Please check the Support section of our website for more information about device compatibility before using the apps. Use of the FreeStyle Libre systems apps may require registration with LibreView.

† Alarm notifications will only be received when alarms settings are enabled and turned on and sensor is within 20 feet (FreeStyle Libre 2) or 33 feet (FreeStyle Libre 3) unobstructed of the reading device.
