What steps are required to upload data from a compatible FreeStyle Libre reader or blood glucose meter into LibreView?
Once the device drivers are downloaded and installed, you can plug in a compatible reader within the FreeStyle Libre Portfolio or FreeStyle brand blood glucose meter using the corresponding cable and start uploading data.
Go to the Device Upload page and choose the appropriate option:
Things to note before uploading:
- LibreView is compatible with Abbott glucose devices only.
- Make sure the device's battery is charged and the device screen shows "computer mode" when plugged into a USB port.
-Make sure you have the right USB cable for your device. A cable that you use for a different device may not work.
Uploading a USB device:
1. Connect your compatible device to a USB port on your computer using the appropriate cable.
2. Click the Upload button
3. Once the data is uploaded, the reports will automatically open
4. Once the data is uploaded, it can be viewed anytime under the My Glucose section by clicking the Glucose Reports button.
Note: When you upload a device, you may need to allow your browser to access the Device Drivers file. Save time by ticking the box so your browser will remember your selection before selecting “Allow” or “Launch application”.
Note: If your healthcare professional uses LibreView, they will also be able to upload the data from your device during your appointments.
