![]() The app, FreeStyle LibreLink is available to download for free on the App store or Google Play. The FreeStyle Libre replaces finger stick blood glucose testing**. Each sensor lasts two weeks, so you need two sensors a month. The sensor collects data on your blood glucose readings for 8 hours between scans, even while you sleep, so you have a constant picture of what your blood glucose is doing. ![]() A one-second scan that you can repeat as many times as you like during the day. No finger sticks**, and no need to calibrate. Using a FreeStyle Libre reader or an app (on your compatible smartphone), you scan the sensor for a blood glucose reading. It is a small sensor (the size of a R5 coin) that you insert into the back of your upper arm. When you scan the FreeStyle Libre sensor with a FreeStyle Libre reader (or a compatible smartphone*) you get a glucose (blood sugar) reading. Here they are!
