I know the two systems that support the libre are phones on ios (apple) and android phonesThanks both. Thought I might need a reader as well but my phone is fairly up to date so should be OK. Think it will revolutionise my diabetes control. Thanks and Happy Christmas
You’re welcome, it has definitely been life changing for me having this! And yes don’t ‘need’ a reader unless you have a slightly older phone that perhaps isn’t compatible with the app but if you have a more modern smartphone you can just use the app - that’s what I do 🙂Thanks both.

Thankyou. Am type 2 but in transport most of the day so really difficult to check. Is it easy to set up?You’re welcome, it has definitely been life changing for me having this!

I've downloaded the app but can't pass the sensor bitYou can set up the app in advance - by downloading it and then logging in your details so it’s on your account so it can be seen by your diabetics clinic or nurse
Fair enough, yes some jobs it’s a lot more difficult to be able to check levels regularly, my job makes this challenging too! It is pretty straight forward yes, you just set us an account which only takes a few minutes and you just follow the steps so isn’t too bad.Thankyou.

Is it asking you to scan a sensor?I've downloaded the app but can't pass the sensor bit
I’m just going to tag @everydayupsanddowns as having an email as your username isn’t a good idea

You also have the option to share your libre data with your health care team which I do so that every time I scan and get a reading, it automatically sends it to them so when it comes to appointments, I don’t need to worry about uploading any data, it does it for me automatically. But of course this is your choice and you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, I just personally find it quicker and easier.
In terms of applying the sensor itself, are you confident with this or do could you do with some advice on this too? Happy to help if you would like some info on how to do this as it can be a bit confusing at first 🙂
Oh ok I see, I’m afraid I’m not too sure how to skip past that without scanning as I have just always scanned a sensor so sorry about that! Like @Lily123 says, there is a way but not entirely sure I’m afraid, sorry I can’t be of more help!It's this point I'm stuck at. I haven't ordered the sensors yet.
Will I be able to do it as soon as buy the sensors?Oh ok I see, I’m afraid I’m not too sure how to skip past that without scanning as I have just always scanned a sensor so sorry about that! Like @Lily123 says, there is a way but not entirely sure I’m afraid, sorry I can’t be of more help!
You should be able to yes, as soon as you have the sensors, you can apply one and scan it.Will I be able to do it as soon as buy the sensors?
