The people are not real patients. The sugar levels are not real patients' numbers. Introduction The FreeStyle Libre System will help you to manage your diabetes. The System uses a small device called a `sensor' to check your sugar levels. You put the sensor on your body, on the back of your upper arm. FreeStyle LibreLink and LibreLinkUp are apps. An app is a computer programme that you have on a smartphone to help you do something. A smartphone is a phone that connects to the internet. This information explains: · more about Freestyle LibreLink and LibreLinkUp · how to get started using them. 2 The FreeStyle LibreLink app FreeStyle LibreLink is a new app that you can download onto your smartphone to read information from your sensor. Before the app, people used a special device called a `reader' to get information from their sensor. The app does more things than the reader. The reader doesn't share your sugar levels with family and friends. You can choose to use a sensor with both the app and the reader. To do this, you must scan the sensor with the reader first and then scan with the app. Remember to scan with each device once at least every 8 hours. 3 FreeStyleLibre~ You can get more information about which phones work with this system on our website: https://freestylediabetes.co.uk/ landing/smartphone-compatibilityguide l~~egister You need to register with LibreView to use the FreeStyle LibreLink app. f- MyGlucose · What does the app show you? · Your current sugar reading. A reading is a number which tells you what your sugar levels are. · An arrow which tells you if the amount of sugar is going up, down or staying the same. 12:00 15:fV · A graph which tells you how the amount of sugar has changed over the last 8 hours. 4 Your reading and where your sugars are going can be read out aloud by your smartphone. You have to go to `settings' and click the `text-to-speech' option to make this work. After you have been using the FreeStyle Libre System for 5 days, the app will also show you: · how your reading changes day by day · how much of the time your sugar level has been OK, and how much of the time it has been too low · when your reading has been very low · the average reading. 5 When to scan your sensor You should scan your sensor at least every 8 hours. If you have wi-fi, the information from your FreeStyle LibreLink app will be put onto the internet automatically. You can see it on your computer using your LibreView account. 6 LibreLinkUp LibreLinkUp is just for the people you want to access your sugar levels.
