Once you have applied your sensor, you're ready to scan.

Press the blue 'On' button and set the date and time. You can then enter your target glucose range.
To activate the sensor and link it to your reader, hold the reader within 4cm of your sensor.
You'll hear a beep (or feel a vibration). Wait 60 minutes. Scan again and you'll see your first reading.
You can also use the reader to test your blood glucose and blood ketones.
The FreeStyle LibreLink app is only compatible with certain mobile devices and operating systems. Please check our compatibility guide for more information about device compatibility before using the app. A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the FreeStyle LibreLink app or when symptoms do not match the FreeStyle LibreLink app readings.
