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.*
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.
To receive alarms on your compatible smartphone, you must set it up with your new FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor.^
Even if the FreeStyle LibreLink user has turned off their alarms, caregivers can set their own alarms and notifications based on their loved-one's sugar levels on the LibreLinkUp app.
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.
There are some things you can do to make sure you don't miss any glucose alerts:

^ Patients choose which device they want to receive alarms: FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or FreeStyle LibreLink app. They must start their FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with that selected device. Once the patient scans their FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with that device, they can receive alarms only on that device.
︽ Glucose readings are automatically displayed in the FreeStyle LibreLink app only when your smartphone and sensor are connected and in range (20ft). Notifications will only be received on the FreeStyle Libre 3 app when alarms are turned on and the sensor is within 33 feet unobstructed of the reading device.
