Ive been following you for some time. I think your information is one of the best diabetes sources out there. Thank you.

[phillipg]

Sorry but there's NO MENTION on how you get the data to your watch. The only reason I came here for.

[xnadave]

Great information! Thanks for sharing. Just got my first Libre patch on this morning. The data is... concerning. Being able to check my levels as often as I want without having to stab my finger is amazing.

Hi Tom. Thx for this very informative video. My wife use Libre freestyle 3 sensor und I bought her an Apple Watch SE. I would like to configurate it so that she could get notifications on it in case of low or high blood sugar. How can I do this?

[Criggopher]

As a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. You're videos have been soo soo helpful! Thank you so much

[ronikkakendall]

Just started using FreeStyle Libre 2. I was recently diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. Seeing your videos helped me understand how the monitor and app works. Thanks for sharing the feature to set a reminder for 8 hrs and you can customize when to check your sensor. I worry, with the monitor saying that I'm high the device would beep at me when I'm at work. Being able to set a specific time can help me so I don't feel embarrassed that the alarm goes off soon after I scan.

Libre 1 have any app or we need to just check on reader, plz guide

Libre 3 was sending notifications to my Apple Watch, but with the last update it stopped. Do you know how I can turn it back on? Having it on my watch is more important than having it on my phone. Thank you for all the help you provide to us.

Hey, I've found that narrowing my 'range' has really improved my control. I'm currently 3.9 - 6.9. Of course, getting a higher percentage in range is a lot more difficult.

I have only just been diagnosed with a diabetes so I’m only just getting used to it and I’m going to set this up with my watch on my phone

[gandharichand]

Thank you so much. Were buying Freestyle Libre for our 9-yr old. We're in India, and unfortunately, there's a dearth of information here. The video helped a lot.
One question: will the senser hurt during application and removal?

[damathamed]

hello
Does the application freestyle libre 2 work on the Apple Watch directly without any other applications, and do we need the mobile to be with us always? Thank you

[santangelimarine]

Hi! How were you able to add the LibreLink app to your AppleWatch? I’ve been trying but can’t seem to figure out how to do it!

[ML-zeji]

please can you download the libre link app on the watch ??
because I have a blood glucose sensor in my arm
also, can I check my blood sugar from it?

[trelstudios]

I was thinking about getting an I watch to track my blood sugar when exercising. Do you need the I watch connected to your phone in order to take a blood sugar reading or does the watch stand alone? The reason why I can’t have my phone is because I am swimming or surfing I want to be able to check my blood sugar.
