Can I interchange using the FreeStyle Libre 3 reader and app while wearing a FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor?

No, the app* and reader† can not be used at the same time. Starting the sensor with the reader will NOT allow you to start your sensor with the app. Changing to an app or reader will require a new FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor.

 

Medicare and other payor criteria may apply.

*The FreeStyle Libre systems apps are only compatible with certain mobile devices and operating systems. Please check the Support section of our website for more information about device compatibility before using the apps. Use of the FreeStyle Libre systems apps may require registration with LibreView.

†The FreeStyle Libre systems apps and the FreeStyle Libre systems readers have similar but not identical features. Fingersticks are required for treatment decisions when you see Check Blood Glucose symbol and when your glucose alarms and readings from the system do not match symptoms or expectations.
