Uploading from Apps

LibreView Device Drivers are not required to upload data from FreeStyle LibreLink or other compatible mobile apps within the FreeStyle Libre Portfolio into LibreView. Data from a compatible mobile app can automatically upload to LibreView if there is an internet connection.

Things to note before uploading:

  • LibreView is compatible with Abbott glucose devices only.

  • Make sure the device's battery is charged and the device screen shows "computer mode" when plugged into a USB port.

  • Make sure you have the right USB cable for your device. A cable that you use for a different device may not work.

Uploading a USB Device:

  1. Connect your compatible device to a USB port on to your computer using the appropriate cable.

  2. Click the Upload button

  3. Once the data is uploaded, the reports will automatically open

  4. Once the data is uploaded, it can be viewed anytime under the My Glucose section by clicking the Glucose Reports button.

Understanding Reports

IMPORTANT: Work with your healthcare professional to understand your reports. LibreView provides a standard set of information and graphs relating to your diabetes management and is only one part of understanding your glucose patterns.

Use the report labels and legends to understand your reports. Additional Information is provided below:

  • Glucose Management Indicator (GMI) uses average Sensor glucose data. GMI can provide an indication of the current state of your glucose management when used in conjunction with your entire glucose management program. Your laboratory A1C may be different than your GMI, and should be discussed with your healthcare team.

  • In reports other than those with specific fixed standards, the glucose values are labelled as high when higher than 250 mg/dL (13.9 mmol/L) and low when lower than 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L). The target range is set for 70-180 mg/dL (3.9-10.0 mmol/L).

  • The target glucose range is displayed on some glucose graphs and is used to calculate Time in Range.

  • Sensor data captured is the percentage of possible sensor data the device recorded from your sensor. To maximize this percentage, wear your sensor for the entire duration and follow your sensor user manual instructions.

  • If you have gaps in data on your glucose monitoring device, you will also have gaps in data on your LibreView reports. Some information may be missing from reports if:

    • You changed the time on the device.

    • There was an excess of information to include in the report.

Changing Report Settings

IMPORTANT: Work with your healthcare professional to set your report parameters.

While viewing reports you can change the settings you'd like to use.

When you're viewing reports, use the buttons on the bottom of the screen to adjust your settings.

  1. You can change the report dates by clicking on the blue button that says Change Report End Date. The default setting will show data from the date of the most recent upload. Click Save to generate reports using the new settings.

  2. You can select or unselect the devices that are used in the report set by clicking the blue button that says Data Sources. The default setting will show data from all devices that have data in the reporting period and can be included in the report set. Click Save to generate reports using the new settings.

  3. You can select the reports, adjust target ranges, change report parameters and more by clicking the blue Report Settings button. Click Save to generate reports using the new settings.

To set new default report preferences, go to your Settings menu.

  1. Click the Settings Menu icon and go to Report Preferences

  2. Set your target ranges, glucose thresholds, and report display order for all reports. Not all reports have adjustable target ranges.

  3. Deselect any reports you don't need to view

  4. Your settings will be saved as you make changes

Note: Click Restore Defaults to return to the default report settings.
