FreeStyle Libre 2 - US

Editor's Review

The FreeStyle Libre 2 app 📱 is designed exclusively for use with FreeStyle Libre 2 System Sensors, taking diabetes management to a whole new level! This app, from the world’s #1 CGM, offers a range of features to help you stay on top of your glucose levels with ease and accuracy.💯

One of the key benefits is the remarkably small and discreet sensor. You'll barely notice it's there! 👍 Plus, say goodbye to routine fingersticks! 👋 The FreeStyle Libre 2 provides unsurpassed accuracy for both adults and children, making glucose monitoring simpler and less intrusive. However, fingersticks are required if your glucose alarms and readings do not match symptoms or when you see Check Blood Glucose symbol during the first 12 hours.

Stay informed with optional real-time glucose alarms, along with an urgent low glucose alarm. These alerts notify you of highs and lows, allowing you to take timely action. ⏰ Please note that alarms and glucose readings can only be received on your phone OR your FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader, not both. To receive alarms and glucose readings on your phone, you must start the Sensor with the FreeStyle Libre 2 app.

Compatibility may vary between phones and operating systems. Be sure to check if your device is compatible! You can find more about compatibility at https://freestyleserver.com/distribution/fxaa20.aspx?product=ifu_art41556_202&version=latest&os=all®ion=us&language=xx_yy.

Before starting your Sensor, if you are using the FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor with an Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System, do not activate your sensor with the FreeStyle Libre 2 app or reader. Please visit your insulin pump manufacturer's website for specific activation instructions.

Remember, the FreeStyle Libre 2 app, Reader, and your Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system do not share data with each other.

For complete information on app or Reader when not using an AID, scan your Sensor every 8 hours with that device; otherwise, your reports will not include all your data. You can only upload and view data from app and reader on LibreView.com.

If you are using the app, remember that you must also have access to a blood glucose monitoring system, as the app does not provide one. You can also review product labeling and the interactive tutorial at https://www.freestyle.abbott/us-en/support/overview.html#app2 before using the app.
