Editor's Review
The FreeStyle Libre 2 app 📱 is designed exclusively for use with FreeStyle Libre 2 System Sensors, bringing diabetes management to a new level. As the world’s #1 CGM, it offers a range of features to help you stay on top of your glucose levels with ease and accuracy. Let's dive into what makes this app a game-changer! 🌟
Small and Discreet: The sensor is remarkably small and discreet, making it easy to wear and monitor your glucose levels without drawing attention. 🤏 Its compact design ensures comfort and convenience in your daily life.
No Fingersticks: Enjoy unsurpassed accuracy for both adults and children, eliminating the need for routine fingersticks. 🎉 This feature alone makes managing diabetes less intrusive and more manageable. Note that fingersticks are required if your glucose alarms and readings do not match symptoms or when you see the Check Blood Glucose symbol during the first 12 hours.
Alarms: 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 prompt action and maintain stable glucose levels. Notifications are only received when alarms are turned on and the sensor is within 20 feet unobstructed of the reading device.
Compatibility: Keep in mind that compatibility may vary between phones and operating systems. The FreeStyle Libre 2 app is only compatible with FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensors. Check the compatibility of your device at https://freestyleserver.com/distribution/fxaa20.aspx?product=ifu_art41556_202&version=latest&os=all®ion=us&language=xx_yy to ensure a seamless experience. ℹ️

- Before starting your sensor, decide whether to use the reader or the FreeStyle Libre 2 app.

- To receive alarms and glucose readings on your phone, start the Sensor with the FreeStyle Libre 2 app.
- Scan your Sensor every 8 hours with your chosen device to ensure your reports include all your data.
