Use optional alarms with the FreeStyle Libre 2 system

With our alarm function, you can choose to receive a message when your glucose value is too high or too low using the FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor and the FreeStyle LibreLink app.

 

How it works

When you set glucose alerts, as long as your device is in range, 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 alert, you can tap the notification to immediately check your glucose level and take necessary action.

 

How to set alarms on the FreeStyle LibreLink app

To receive alarms on your compatible smartphone, you must set it up with your new FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor.^

How to activate alarm notifications on a smartphone

Setting the alarms on the FreeStyle LibreLink app is just the first step. Next, you need to make sure your smartphone has notifications enabled for the app. If you didn't enable all notifications and permissions during app set up, how you do it now depends on your phone's operating system.

  •  Open Settings on your iPhone.

  •  Go to notifications and select the FreeStyle LibreLink app

  •  Enable Allow notifications

  • Tap to highlight the lock screen, notification sounds, and banner options to enable all notifications.

 

Enable notifications and location permissions on Android

  •  Open Settings on your Android smartphone.

  •  Go to Apps, select the FreeStyle LibreLink app and select notifications

  •  Tap Notifications and enable All LibreLink notifications

  •  Tap Location and enable Allow only while using the app.

  •  If you selected Deny for Stop optimising battery usage during app setup, toggle Battery to allow.

Here's how to make sure you don't miss your alarms

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.

Do not force close the FreeStyle LibreLink app - let it run in the background.

Turn Do Not Disturb off or choose to override Do Not Disturb in your alarm settings.*
