The FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system is the first product in the flash glucose
monitoring category and is designed to liberate patients from the hassles of glucose monitoring and
provide HCPs with deeper insights to make more informed treatment decisions.
How is flash glucose monitoring
different to blood glucose monitoring (BGM)?
Traditional blood glucose monitoring provides users with glucose readings that represent distinct
points in time. Users do not get comprehensive information regarding how their glucose levels have been
changing, nor do they get information about where their glucose levels are going. Without such
information, it can be easy to miss significant glucose fluctuations - the ups and downs. Continuous
glucose monitoring gives a more complete picture of glucose fluctuations by providing glucose values
dependent on the system from every minute to every 5 minutes. Understanding how their glucose levels
have been changing makes it possible for users and their healthcare team to take appropriate actions and
make therapy adjustments. The FreeStyle Libre system is a new and user-friendly way to discreetly obtain
glucose readings. The FreeStyle Libre system offers benefits of both CGM and BGM – on one hand it
provides a complete picture of glucose variations while on the other, it allows users to get their
current glucose readings in a flash by just scanning the reader over the Sensor.
Flash Glucose Monitoring is designed as an affordable and easy way to generate the dense glucose data
needed for an insightful glycaemic picture. What makes flash glucose monitoring unique is the quick scan
of the reader over the Sensor to collect glucose data. Another key feature of the flash glucose
monitoring system is the small and fully disposable Sensor that lasts up to 14 days, requires no finger
prick calibration, no routine finger pricks10 and that
automatically measures, captures and stores 90
days of glucose data.227
How does the FreeStyle Libre system
work?
To obtain a glucose reading, users simply perform a quick, painless4 1-second scan of the phone13 over
the Sensor. This easy scan gives user more information than BGM without the need for finger
pricks10.
The FreeStyle Libre system also offers software to generate concise reports that provide a clear
analysis of the user’s glucose data.
How accurate is FreeStyle Libre?
The FreeStyle Libre system has been clinically proven to be accurate, stable, and consistent over 14
days. It does not require finger prick calibration and may be used in place of routine finger prick
glucose testing.
How current is my glucose information?
The FreeStyle Libre sensor measures glucose every minute and updates glucose values in the app every
minute. Historic glucose readings (shown on the 8-hr glucose graph) are plotted every 15 minutes.
Is interstitial fluid (ISF) a
reasonable alternative for blood? What about the lag?
ISF is a reasonable alternative for blood. Glucose can be measured in the ISF–the fluid around the
body’s cells where glucose freely diffuses from capillaries to the interstitial space243. The FreeStyle
Libre sensor sugar readings lag behind a finger prick blood sugar reading by approximately 2 to 5
minutes5.
Can the FreeStyle Libre system be used
by children?
The FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system can measure interstitial fluid glucose levels in
people aged 4 and above with diabetes mellitus. Children aged 4 to 17 should be supervised by a
caregiver who is at least 18 years old. The caregiver is responsible for supervising, managing, and
assisting the child in using the FreeStyle Libre system and interpreting its readings.
What payment methods are available?
You can pay quickly and securely online via credit card or debit card.
When will I receive my order?
It normally takes up to 3 working days to process and deliver your order, assuming it's placed and paid
for successfully before 2pm.
How do I track my order?
You can check the status of your order 24/7. Simply look up the tracking number on your shipment update
to see the current status of your order.
How do I store the product at home?
The FreeStyle Libre sensor should be stored between 4°C to 25°C. The FreeStyle Libre reader should be
stored between -20°C to 60°C.
Can you deliver the FreeStyle Libre
system to another country?
No, we cannot deliver to addresses outside Singapore.

arm. It should stay in place for up to 14 days, even while you shower, swim, bathe or exercise.
9
Please follow the instructions found in the user manual for skin preparation and application.
Do I need to calibrate the FreeStyle
Libre system?
No. Unlike other sensor-based glucose monitoring systems that are currently available, the FreeStyle
Libre Sensor is factory calibrated and requires no finger prick calibrations during the 14-day wear
period. FreeStyle Libre system is a factory calibrated Sensor that has been proven to safely and
successfully replace SMBG4,28 and deliver important clinical benefit. Specific details about
our
calibration process are proprietary.
Can I perform a blood ketone test with
the FreeStyle Libre system?
Yes, for convenience, there is a built-in blood glucose meter within the reader that can be used for
blood glucose and blood ketone testing.
Why does the system require a 1 hour
warm up period?
Abbott Diabetes Care is committed to making its products safe for the user. Soon after the insertion of
a Sensor, there are physiological processes that happen as the Sensor and the body equilibrates. These
processes are part of the body's natural response to the Sensor insertion. The equilibration process can
vary from one person to another and may not always happen in the same manner for any one person.
Therefore, we have decided to let the system equilibrate for 1 hour to ensure that the system is
providing accurate glucose readings.
How should I discard the disposable
components, such as the sensor pack and applicator?
Regulations vary depending on location. This product should be disposed of in accordance with all
applicable local regulations related to the disposal of electronic equipment, batteries, sharps, and
materials potentially exposed to body fluids.
“Sharps" include any device or object used to puncture or lacerate the skin. Sensors are not sharps as
they do not contain a sharp. The sharp is left in the applicator.
Contact Customer Service for further information on appropriate disposal of system components.
My skin is quite sensitive, what
should I do if I have any skin reaction to the FreeStyle Libre system?
Some individuals may be sensitive to the adhesive that keeps the Sensor attached to the skin. If you
notice significant skin irritation around or under your Sensor, remove the Sensor and stop using the
FreeStyle Libre system. Contact your health care professional before continuing to use the FreeStyle
Libre system.
Why is the Sensor not as accurate
during the 1st day of wear?
The accuracy of Sensors that monitor glucose generally improves after the first day of use. During the
first day, the Sensor may need to acclimate to its physiological environment. Accuracy should improve
after the first day and will remain consistent over the wear period.
How do I remove the FreeStyle Libre
sensor after 14 days?
Pull up the edge of the adhesive that keeps your Sensor attached to your skin. Slowly peel away from
your skin in one motion.
Note: Any remaining adhesive residue on the skin can be removed with warm, soapy water or isopropyl
alcohol.
FreeStyle Libre Reader
Do I need a separate blood glucose
meter when using the FreeStyle Libre system?
No, for convenience, there is a built-in blood glucose meter within the reader that can be used for
blood glucose and blood ketone testing.
What is a Trend Arrow? How does it
work? And what does it tell me?
The FreeStyle Libre system offers a Trend Arrow with each glucose reading which tells users which way
and how quickly glucose levels are changing. So, at any given time, users not only know what their
glucose level is currently, but also which way it is heading. Depending on the direction of the trend
arrow, users can find out if their glucose levels are changing gradually, moderately, or rapidly,
facilitating decision-making.
Glucose trend arrow
The direction in which glucose is heading
Glucose is rising quickly (more than 2 mg/dL (0.1 mmol/L) per minute)
Glucose is rising (between 1 and 2 mg/dL (0.06 and 0.1 mmol/L) per minute)
Glucose is changing slowly (less than 1 mg/dL (0.06 mmol/L) per minute)
Glucose is falling (between 1 and 2 mg/dL (0.06 and 0.1 mmol/L) per minute)
Glucose is falling quickly (more than 2 mg/dL (0.1 mmol/L) per minute)
Can I perform a blood ketone test with
the FreeStyle Libre system?
Yes, for convenience, there is a built-in blood glucose meter within the reader that can be used for
blood glucose and blood ketone testing.
LibreLink App
What is the FreeStyle LibreLink mobile
app?
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is a mobile medical app designed to work with FreeStyle Libre sensors. The
app enables you to monitor your glucose using your iPhone or Android phone12 with a FreeStyle Libre
sensor — there is no need to use a separate blood glucose meter for routine glucose monitoring.10 When
you scan the sensor with a compatible phone that’s running the FreeStyle LibreLink app, your glucose
data is displayed directly on that device.
With the app you can:
View your current glucose reading, a trend arrow, which indicates how your glucose is changing, and
the
last 8-hours of glucose history
See glucose reports, including your Ambulatory Glucose Profile, which reveal trends and patterns
Add notes to track your food, insulin use, exercise, and other events
Connect to healthcare professionals and caregivers with LibreView and LibreLinkUp
21
Important: You must have a compatible iPhone or Android phone to install and use the app (See Compatibility
Guide).
Is the FreeStyle LibreLink app
approved for sale in the Singapore market?
Yes, the FreeStyle LibreLink app is approved by Health Science Authority (HSA) in Singapore.
Are there other apps available that
are approved for use with FreeStyle Libre sensors?
No, the FreeStyle LibreLink app is the only app that has been tested by Abbott Diabetes Care to be
compatible with FreeStyle Libre sensors. The FreeStyle LibreLink
12 app was developed to ensure
compliance with local regulations, including safety and performance requirements in accordance with the
intended use. Any product that is intended to be compatible with FreeStyle Libre sensors would also need
to comply with these regulations as well.
What is near-field communication (NFC)
and how do I know if my phone has it?
NFC is the wireless communication technology that enables your FreeStyle Libre sensors to wirelessly
transmit data to another device.
For Android users: Your Android phone must have NFC capabilities and NFC must be enabled. Many of the
latest Android phones support NFC. Check your phone's manual or go to the phone’s Settings menu and look
for settings related to ‘NFC’, ‘Connections’, ‘Sharing’, or ‘Wireless & Networks.’
For iPhone users: You must have an iPhone 7 or higher running iOS 11 or higher to utilize the NFC
capability needed to scan the FreeStyle Libre sensor.
Is the app approved for pediatric use
or pregnant women?
The app has the same indications for use as the FreeStyle Libre system. Please see the FreeStyle Libre
system indications for use for your country.
How do I scan my FreeStyle Libre
sensor with my phone?
Android:
After you’ve applied a FreeStyle Libre sensor to the back of your upper arm, open the app and hold the
back of your Android phone near (exact distance will vary by phone) the FreeStyle Libre sensor to scan
it. The size and location of the NFC antenna in Android phones varies by make and model, so you may have
to move the phone around to find the best position for scanning the FreeStyle Libre sensor.
Once you have found the optimal scan position, wait for the app to produce two distinct tones or
vibrations before you move the phone away from the FreeStyle Libre sensor. The first tone indicates the
phone’s NFC has recognized the sensor. The second tone indicates the scan is complete.
iPhone:
After you’ve applied a FreeStyle Libre sensor to the back of your upper arm, open the app and tap one of
the scan buttons within the app to put the iPhone in a scan ready state. There are two types of scan
buttons – a blue button on the Home screen and a gray scan icon in the top right corner of most screens.
Hold the top edge of your iPhone near the sensor and do not move your iPhone until you hear a tone
and/or feel a vibration, which indicates the scan is complete.
Do I have to remove the case on my
phone to scan the sensor?
You may or may not have to remove your phone case – it depends on the material that the case is made
from, how thick the case is, and how well your phone’s NFC antenna works. If your phone case is made
from plastic or silicone or another non-conductive material, you will probably be able to scan the
sensor without removing the case. If the case is aluminum, metal or anything else that has a conductive
surface, you may need to remove the case before scanning your sensor. The thickness of the case can also
make a difference. If your case is very thick, it could prevent the phone from scanning the sensor.
Can the app replace my FreeStyle Libre
reader?
Yes. The app was developed using the same technology that is in the FreeStyle Libre reader for
receiving and processing glucose data, so it can also be used for routine glucose monitoring. The app
can be used instead of or in combination with the FreeStyle Libre reader.
Do I need to carry a separate blood
glucose meter?
There’s no need to use a separate blood glucose meter for routine testing.
10 The app allows you to get
glucose results as often as you like by simply scanning your FreeStyle Libre sensor with your phone.
However, a finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing
glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels,
if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the Sensor, or when symptoms do not match the
Sensor readings.
Can I use my FreeStyle Libre reader
and FreeStyle LibreLink app with the same sensor?
You can choose to monitor your glucose levels with either the app, the reader, or both. You can use the
FreeStyle LibreLink app and the FreeStyle Libre reader with the same sensor, as long as you start the
sensor with the reader first, and then scan the newly started sensor with your phone.
Remember that the FreeStyle LibreLink app and FreeStyle Libre readers do not share data with each
other. For example, if you switch between your reader and the app, you may see gaps in your glucose
data, which will affect the reports available through the reader, the FreeStyle LibreLink app, and
LibreView. It is important to continue scanning your sensor with either the app or the reader at least
once every eight hours so you and your healthcare professional can get a complete picture of your
glucose trends and patterns.
Can I use the FreeStyle LibreLink app
to scan someone else’s sensor?
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is intended to be used with only one sensor (and one person) at a time.
Each app account is associated with one person. However, people who use the FreeStyle LibreLink app can
connect with their caregivers if they are using a separate app called LibreLinkUp. LibreLinkUp allows
caregivers to remotely monitor glucose readings performed by their love ones.
Can the FreeStyle LibreLink app be
used to make insulin dosing decisions?
Yes. People with diabetes can use FreeStyle Libre sensors with the app to better understand the impact
of actions like eating, exercise, and taking insulin based on their glucose levels. They can also make
day-to-day therapy decisions when using the app with a FreeStyle Libre sensor, including insulin dosing
decisions, based on guidance from their healthcare professional.
Will the FreeStyle LibreLink app work
in ‘airplane mode’?
Yes. If you use an Android phone, you may need to go to your phone’s settings and reactivate NFC when
your phone is in airplane mode. You can scan with your iPhone in airplane mode by tapping one of the
scan buttons in the app to put it in a scan ready state.
What if I don’t have phone service or
Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection are only required for initial app setup (downloading / installing the
app, creating an account, or signing in) and sharing your glucose information with your care team or
with other connected apps. The app does not require a Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection to scan your
sensor or to record your current glucose readings. During periods when your phone is operating in a
disconnected state, your data will only be uploaded to LibreView after a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection
is restored.
Does the FreeStyle LibreLink app cause
my phone battery to deplete more quickly?
No, the FreeStyle LibreLink app is meant to be used as often as you like and should not have a
noticeable effect on battery life beyond your normal usage patterns.
What happens if my phone battery dies?
If your phone battery dies, charge your phone to continue using the FreeStyle LibreLink app. Your data
will not be lost if the phone battery dies and you can scan the sensor while the phone is being charged.
Can I use the FreeStyle LibreLink app
on a rooted or jailbroken phone?
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is not supported on rooted Android phones or jailbroken iPhones.
How do I retrieve my password if I
forget it?
After installing the FreeStyle LibreLink app, tap Sign In. Then, tap Forgot Password. Enter the e-mail
address that was used to create the account and follow the on-screen instructions. You will receive an
e-mail with a link to reset your password. Follow the link to create a new password, then sign into your

24. If they’re using a compatible pump, they can view their
data in the data management system that
works with their pump.
The LibreView data management software is intended for use by both patients and healthcare
professionals to assist people with diabetes and their healthcare professionals in the review, analysis
and evaluation of historical glucose meter data to support effective diabetes management. The LibreView
software is not intended to provide treatment decisions or to be used as a substitute for professional
healthcare advice.
What will I see in a patient’s Event
Log? (For Healthcare Professionals)
A patient’s Event Log displays their account-related activity. You will also see if the action was
completed by the patient or Care Team member(s), and the time and date the action took place.
All Professional users with access to the patient’s data can view their Event Log to monitor actions
taken.
LibreLinkUp App
What’s the difference between a
FreeStyle LibreLink app and LibreLinkUp app?
The FreeStyle LibreLink app13 is for people with diabetes.
They wear a FreeStyle Libre sensor which sends glucose readings to their app, so they can monitor their
glucose on their smartphone.
The LibreLinkUp21 app is an app for family, friends, and
caregivers of someone with diabetes. It enables them to receive glucose data on their smartphone,
keeping them in the loop. It’s a support app, so it isn’t used with a FreeStyle Libre systems sensor.
Can I use glucose data from my
LibreLinkUp app to make treatment decisions?
While it might be tempting, glucose data on your LibreLinkUp21
app shouldn’t be used for treatment or dosing decisions. Only use the primary FreeStyle LibreLink
app13, and/or work with a healthcare professional for treatment
decisions.
Does the LibreLinkUp app have an age
limit?
People ages 18+ can create an account in the LibreLinkUp1 app unless local law defines adulthood at a
different age.
How does the LibreLinkUp app work?
Think of it as a digital loop. The person wearing a FreeStyle Libre sensor receives glucose data on
their FreeStyle LibreLink app13. That data is transmitted to
the LibreView24 cloud, which sends it to
you, the LibreLinkUp app21 user who is following them.
How do I connect using LibreLinkUp?
Ask the person you want to follow to send you an invitation from their FreeStyle LibreLink app13.
Download the LibreLinkUp21 app on your smartphone and accept
their invitation, so you can start receiving their glucose data and notifications.
What information can I see on my
LibreLinkUp app?
You’ll see your Connection’s current glucose reading and trend arrow, which shows the direction their
glucose is heading.
You won’t see:
Information about unsuccessful scans or scan errors
Notes about things like insulin, food, and exercise
At times the trend arrow may not appear with the reading
When will I begin receiving my
Connection’s glucose data after they start a new sensor?
You will begin seeing their glucose data in your LibreLinkUp21
app 60 minutes after they scan a new sensor to start it.
When my Connection scans their sensor,
will I see their glucose data right away?
That can depend on a few things, like Internet connectivity and network speed for you and your
Connection. You should see their glucose data within seconds if you’re both connected to the Internet.
The same goes for Connections receiving automatic glucose readings on their app.
Will I see my Connection’s glucose
data each time they scan their sensor?
Yes, each time your Connection successfully scans their FreeStyle Libre System sensor with their
FreeStyle LibreLink app13, you’ll see their glucose data in
your app21.
Keep in mind, if your Connection scans their FreeStyle Libre System sensor with their FreeStyle Libre
Reader instead of their smartphone, you won’t receive their glucose data. FreeStyle Libre Readers aren’t
Internet-enabled, so they can’t be used to share glucose data like the app does.
Where can I see my Connection’s
previous glucose data on my LibreLinkUp app?
You’ll see your Connection’s most recent 12 hours of glucose history on the Home screen of your
LibreLinkUp app21. You’ll find their scans notifications for
the last 2 weeks in your app’s Logbook.
When my phone, or my Connection’s
phone, isn’t connected to the Internet for a while, like on a flight, what will my app and notifications
look like once we’re back on the network?
The glucose graph in your LibreLinkUp21 app will fill in with
the last 12 hours of glucose readings, and your Logbook will show the last 2 weeks of scans. You will
also see the latest notification.
How do I get the LibreLinkUp app?
It’s easy. If you’re using an Android smartphone, you’ll download the app21 from the Google Play store. If you have an iPhone, download the
app from the App Store.
Do I need an Internet connection to
use my LibreLinkUp app?
Yes, you and your Connection both need Internet connectivity for you to receive their glucose data and
notifications.
How do I connect my LibreLinkUp app to
a FreeStyle LibreLink app user?
The person you want to connect with will invite you from their FreeStyle LibreLink app13. If they’re
using a FreeStyle LibreLink app, ask them to open it and follow these steps:
Tap the Menu Icon or Profile
Tap Connected Apps
Under LibreLinkUp, tap Connect or Manage
Tap “Add Connection.”
Enter the LibreLinkUp Connection’s information
Tap “Add” to send an invitation
Once they’ve sent you an invitation from their app, check your email. Then follow the instructions on
how to download your LibreLinkUp21 app and register for an
account.
The last step is to log into your LibreLinkUp app and accept their invitation. Ta-da. You’re connected.
Does a FreeStyle LibreLink app user
also need to have the LibreLinkUp app to share glucose data?
No, FreeStyle LibreLink app13 users don’t need the LibreLinkUp
app21 to share glucose data with LibreLinkUp app users.
Can a FreeStyle LibreLink app user
receive glucose data from another FreeStyle Libre systems app user?
The only way a FreeStyle LibreLink app user can receive glucose data from another FreeStyle LibreLink
app13 user is to download the LibreLinkUp21 app and connect with them.
When a FreeStyle LibreLink app user
invites someone to connect, do they have to use the same first and last name their Connection uses in their
LibreLinkUp app account?
Their first and last names can be different, but their email address needs to be the same for both
apps13,21.
Can a FreeStyle LibreLink app user see
whether the Connection they invited has downloaded the LibreLinkUp app and accepted their invitation?
Yes, FreeStyle LibreLink app13 users can see their active
Connections in the app in the Connected Apps menu.
Can a FreeStyle LibreLink app user
stop sharing their glucose data with a LibreLinkUp app Connection?
Yes, FreeStyle LibreLink app13 users can stop sharing glucose data at any time by following these steps
in their app:
Tap the Navigation Menu
Tap Connected Apps
Under LibreLinkUp, tap Manage.
Tap the name of the Connection you want to stop sharing data with
Tap Stop Sharing
That person will no longer receive your glucose data or notifications in their LibreLinkUp21 app. Their
name will also go away in your list of Connections in your FreeStyle LibreLink app.
My Connection accidentally deleted me
in their FreeStyle LibreLink app. How can we reconnect?
Easy. They will simply create a new connection from their FreeStyle LibreLink app13 and invite you to connect again.
I deleted my Connection’s information
in my LibreLinkUp app. How can I add them back?
They will need to create a new connection in their FreeStyle LibreLink app13 and invite you to connect again.
If I un-install and re-install my
LibreLinkUp app, will I still be able to view glucose data from my existing Connections?
Yes, just sign into your same account. You’ll see your Connection’s glucose data in your newly
installed LibreLinkUp21 app.
Why am I not getting notifications
from my LibreLinkUp app?
Check your Notifications Settings screen to make sure Notifications are enabled. It’s easy.
Go to your Connection’s glucose graph screen in the app.
Tap the Gear icon.
Toggle ON to receive notifications from that Connection.
Repeat steps 1-3 for other Connections.
Still not getting notifications? Try going to the Notifications settings in your smartphone’s operating
system and turn on notifications for your LibreLinkUp21 app.
Will I receive sound notifications if
my smartphone is set to “Vibrate Only” or “Do Not Disturb”?
No, you’ll need to turn those off to receive sound notifications on your LibreLinkUp app.
Do I need to have my LibreLinkUp app
open to receive notifications?
No, your LibreLinkUp app does not need to be open or running to get notifications if you’ve opened and
signed into the app21 at least once.
Can I customize my notification
settings for each Connection?
Yes, you can customize your notification settings by Connection.
Can I use the LibreLinkUp app without
registering for a new account or signing into the app?
No, you will need to create a LibreView24 account or sign into
an existing account before using your LibreLinkUp21 app.
I can’t log into my LibreLinkUp app.
Should I reset my password?
Yes, follow these steps to reset your password:
Tap the Navigation Menu
Tap Get Started
Tap Sign In
Tap Forgot Password
Enter the email address you used to create your account
Tap Done
Check your email for a link to reset your password
Click on the link to enter your new password
Sign in to your LibreLinkUp app using your new password
If I already have a LibreView
account, can I use it to log into my LibreLinkUp app?
Yes, you can use your existing LibreView account to log into your LibreLinkUp app, unless you are a
healthcare professional using a Professional LibreView account.
Can I log into my account on the
LibreLinkUp app using more than one phone?
Yes, with the LibreLinkUp21 app you can use as many phones as
you like.
How do I log out of my LibreLinkUp
app?
Tap the Navigation Menu
Tap Account
Tap the Menu button on the Account Screen
Tap Log out.
If I change my LibreView account
email, or my Connection changes theirs, will we stay connected?
Yes, you will continue to stay connected even if you or your Connection change your account email
addresses.
As a parent/guardian, I used my own
email address to create an account for a minor to use a FreeStyle LibreLink app. Can I use my same email
address to create a LibreLinkUp app account so we can connect?
Yes, you can use the same email address for both apps13,21.
Can I connect with a FreeStyle
LibreLink app user who has a LibreView account from a different country/region?
It depends. The LibreLinkUp21 app is regionally based, which
means you can only connect with FreeStyle
LibreLink app13 users who have a LibreView24 account in your same region. Need to know more? Contact our
friendly Customer Support team.
Can I use the same LibreView24 account
for FreeStyle LibreLink12 and LibreLinkUp21?
Yes, a personal LibreView24 account can be used to sign into
FreeStyle LibreLink13 and LibreLinkUp21.
How many people can I follow with my LibreLinkUp app?
You can follow up to twenty (20) FreeStyle LibreLink app13 users with your LibreLinkUp app21. The same goes for FreeStyle LibreLink app users.
They can share glucose data with up to twenty (20) LibreLinkUp users.

Please read and understand the following information related to the use of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System and consult your healthcare provider for any clarifications or queries related to your treatment of diabetes:
Indication for use:
The FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System is indicated for measuring interstitial fluid glucose levels in people (age 4 and older) with diabetes mellitus. The indication for children (age 4 - 17) is limited to those who are supervised by a caregiver who is at least 18 years of age.
It is designed to replace blood glucose testing in the self-management of diabetes with the exceptions listed below. Under the following circumstances, use a blood glucose meter to check the current glucose readings from the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System Sensor.
Conditions when a blood glucose test with finger prick is required:
During times of rapidly changing glucose levels, interstitial glucose levels as measured by the sensor and reported as current may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels. When glucose levels are falling rapidly, glucose readings from the Sensor may be higher than blood glucose levels. Conversely when glucose levels are rising rapidly, glucose readings from the sensor may be lower than blood glucose levels.
In order to confirm hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia as reported by the sensor.
If symptoms do not match the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System reading. Do not ignore symptoms that may be due to low blood glucose or high blood glucose.
This information is provided as a supplement to the Detailed User Manual and Quick Start Guide available in your FreeStyle Libre Reader pack and not as a replacement for either.
By clicking YES, you confirm that you have read the information contained in this window and understand the indicated use of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System.
Please click NO if you wish to remove the FreeStyle Libre Reader from your shopping cart.
