Scanning the sensor
If your patient is using the FreeStyle LibreLink app,* they only need to scan the sensor to activate it or during signal loss. After that, readings are automatically sent to the app every minute.^
Important Information: When starting FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor with the FreeStyle Libre 2 reader, users will not receive real-time glucose readings, even if they use the updated FreeStyle LibreLink app as their second device.
