Connections & Partnerships
A more convenient experience for your patients
Patients start their Libre 2 Plus sensor with the Omnipod 5 App,9 instantly connecting the sensor to the Omnipod 5 System—so it is ready to begin automated insulin delivery.10
| Unlike other CGMs, there's no need to switch out a Libre 2 Plus sensor midway through an Omnipod 5 use.11 |
LibreView
Patients can easily use5 the LibreLink app◊ to monitor and share their glucose levels
LibreView₼ is a secure12 cloud-based platform that provides you and your staff access to patient glucose reports to make more informed treatment decisions and support effective diabetes management.
With the FreeStyle Libre 2 system, patients' glucose readings can be automatically uploadedΔ to LibreView. This means that you can see your patients' complete glycaemic picture to have more informed virtual and in-person treatment conversations. Patients can scan to fill in up to 8 hours of missing data, so your patients’ glucose history is complete.
