Every FreeStyle Libre 2 app* update is automatically sent to their smartphone, and up to 20 people can view results from a single FreeStyle Libre 2 app* account. With the LibreLinkUp app‡, caregivers will receive alerts the minute their loved one’s glucose levels are too high or too low – so they can take action.

Alarm settings** will follow your patient’s phone’s sound and vibration settings, so remind patients that these should be at a level where they can hear them to prevent missed alarms. If patients put their phone into vibration mode, they will receive a Low Glucose Alarm **, High Glucose Alarm ** or Signal Loss Alarm ** by vibration.
The transmission range is 6 metres (20 feet), unobstructed. If you are out of range, you may not receive glucose alarms2.
Do not force close the FreeStyle Libre 2 app2.
