Getting Started With LibreLinkUp

Sharing data from a person wearing a FreeStyle Libre Sensor with a family or friend involves two apps:

FreeStyle Libre apps
The person wearing the FreeStyle Libre Sensor uses a FreeStyle Libre app on their mobile phone to send a sharing invitation email to their family member or friend.
LibreLinkUp
The family member or friend receives the invitation email and follows the instructions to install the LibreLinkUp app on their own mobile phone.

The LibreLinkUp app is not compatible with the FreeStyle LibreLink special edition app or FreeStyle Libre 2 special edition app.

After the sharing invitation is accepted, the family member or friend will receive glucose data and glucose notifications through LibreLinkUp.

Below are instructions for each app:

For the family member or friend who wants to receive glucose information

After you receive a connection invitation email from a FreeStyle Libre app user, click on the link in the email to download the LibreLinkUp app from the app store (if you don’t already have the app installed).

After installing LibreLinkUp app, follow the prompts to create an account and connect:

  1. Tap Get Started Now on the Welcome screen.

  2. Review and accept the End User License Agreement and Privacy Notice.

  3. Create an account. Enter your country / region of residence, name, email address and preferred password.

  4. Go to your email inbox to verify your account and complete setup.

  5. After you have set up your account, you will see a notification telling you that FreeStyle Libre app user would like to share their glucose readings with you. Press Accept.

You will now receive glucose information in the LibreLinkUp app. You do not need to have the LibreLinkUp app running to receive notifications from your connections.

You can connect with up to 20 FreeStyle Libre app users to see their glucose readings.

Having Trouble?

If you successfully installed LibreLinkUp and set up your account, but do not see a notification from the FreeStyle Libre app user make sure your phone has an active Internet connection (Wi‐Fi or cellular) and your phone settings allow you to receive notifications.

If you still do not see an invitation and you know that the invitation was sent, ask the FreeStyle Libre app user who invited you to send a new invitation to the email address you used when you installed LibreLinkUp.

  3. The FreeStyle LibreLink app and the FreeStyle Libre reader have similar but not identical features. 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 app readings. The FreeStyle Libre sensor communicates with the FreeStyle Libre reader that started it or the FreeStyle LibreLink app that started it. A sensor started by the FreeStyle Libre reader will also communicate with the FreeStyle LibreLink app.
