Optional Alarms

with the FreeStyle Libre Systems

With our optional alarm function, you can choose to receive a message the minute your sugar level is too high or too low using the FreeStyle Libre systems.*

 

How it works

When you turn on the glucose alarms, you'll receive a notification when your glucose reading goes above or below your target range.

It even works when you're sleeping or when your smartphone is in Do Not Disturb mode. When you receive a glucose alarm, you can tap the notification to immediately check your glucose level and take necessary action.

There are some things you can do to make sure you don't miss any glucose alerts:

 

Keep the smartphone's Bluetooth on.

Make sure your phone is within 6 meters of you at all times, unobstructed.
