COMPATIBILITY

Please note that compatibility may vary depending on the phone and operating system used. The FreeStyle Libre 2 app is exclusively compatible with FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensors. To learn more about compatibility, visit FreeStyleLibre.com.

BEFORE STARTING YOUR SENSOR

Prior to starting your Sensor, it is important to select the device you wish to use.

It is essential to note that alarms and glucose readings can only be received either on your phone or your FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader, but not on both simultaneously.

To receive alarms and glucose readings on your phone, you must initiate the Sensor using the FreeStyle Libre 2 app.

Alternatively, to receive alarms and glucose readings on your FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader, you must initiate the Sensor using the Reader.

Kindly be aware that the FreeStyle Libre 2 app and Reader do not synchronize data with each other. To ensure accurate data analysis, it is recommended to scan your Sensor with the corresponding device every 8 hours. Otherwise, your reports may not include all relevant data. All data from different devices can be uploaded and viewed conveniently on LibreView.com.

APP INFORMATION

The FreeStyle Libre 2 app is specifically designed to measure glucose levels in individuals with diabetes, in conjunction with a FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor. For detailed instructions on app usage, please refer to the User's Manual accessible within the app itself.

If you have any questions about product usage or if this product is suitable for your needs, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance in making treatment decisions.

[1] Please note that if you are utilizing the app, you must also have access to a separate blood glucose monitoring system as the app does not provide one.

[2] It is important to highlight that alarms received through the system do not include your glucose reading; hence, it becomes necessary to scan your Sensor to check your current glucose level.
