Scanning and linking up your data

Whenever you scan your sensor your glucose readings will appear on the screen of your reader or your phone, depending on which device you use.

The data will indicate what your current blood glucose level is, a trend arrow showing you what direction your blood glucose is going and a graph of your current reading and your blood glucose history. You can review your data over the previous 90 days and the system has tools to help you identify patterns in your blood glucose levels.

Freestyle LibreLinkUp

This allows you to share your blood glucose readings with family members, friends and healthcare professionals. This means that they can:

• Remotely monitor your glucose readings and trends

• Receive updates when your glucose readings are too high or low

• Stay connected to help you manage your diabetes
