What happens if I update my app to the latest version mid sensor wear? Will the app switch over to receiving real-time glucose readings?

Will I need to buy new FreeStyle Libre 2 sensors to get real-time glucose readings with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app?

No, you do not need to purchase new FreeStyle Libre 2 sensors to get real-time glucose readings with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app. However, you must update your app to version 2.10 if you wish to receive real-time glucose readings when using the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app with your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor.

Do I still need to scan to start my FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ v2.10 app?

Yes, it is still required to scan your sensor when starting a new FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app.

Have any of the glucose alarms changed with the update to real-time glucose readings with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app?

No. The glucose alarms have not changed with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ 2.10 app update.

I updated my FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app but I do not see real-time glucose readings with the sensor I’m currently using, why is that?

You will not see real-time glucose readings until you start a new FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor after updating your FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app to version 2.10.

How does scan to backfill work?

Will the app alert users that they have a data gap on their graphs?

Am I able to use both my FreeStyle Libre 2 reader and the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app together with my FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor?

Yes, it is possible to use both your FreeStyle Libre 2 reader and the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app with your FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor. If using both devices with the Sensor, the FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor will not stream real-time glucose readings to the app. You will need to scan your Sensor with the reader or FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app to receive a glucose reading.

Will I receive real-time glucose readings if I start my FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with my FreeStyle Libre 2 reader?

No. If you wish to receive real-time glucose readings, you must start your FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app.

Will I receive real-time glucose readings if I start my FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with my FreeStyle Libre 2 reader and then connect to the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app?

No. Real-time glucose readings are only available when you start your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app. If you start your FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with the reader, you will not receive real-time glucose readings with that sensor on the reader or the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app.

If I start the sensor with the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app, can I also use the reader to scan the sensor?

No, once you start a FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with the App, you cannot use that sensor with the reader. If you wish to use both the reader and the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app with your Sensor, it is important to start your Sensor with the reader first, and then add the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app. If you use both the reader and app, you will need to scan your sensor with either device to receive glucose readings.

Will I receive glucose alarms on the FreeStyle LibreLinkØ app if I started my FreeStyle Libre 2 sensor with the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader?

No, in this scenario you will only receive glucose alarms on the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader. You can use the App to check your glucose, but you cannot receive glucose alarms with the App because the Sensor was started by another device.
