how do you print librelink readings ?

[Matchless]

Does any one know how i can print my history readings from librelink app ,i know you can from the down loads from the freestyle reader but i have stopped using the reader because it is not as accurate as librelink ,I want to print of a couple of months history to show my new diabetic doctor ,my previous doctor asked me to find another doctor because basically she did not like where i wear my MM on my chest (not my arm as recommended by abbot )and the last visit i did not have any printouts to show her , I am a bit shocked because she cannot fault my control as i have been between 6 and 6.5 HbA1c in the last 6 years so i do not see where she is coming from,So can any one point me in the right direction please.

Are you using Libreview?

No i thought it was just for doctors.

LibreView is to enable doctors to access your Libre data. Makes life so much easier. They give you their code and you input it into the format and then they can access your data whenever they need to.... provided you download your data to LibreView of course which is simple.... even I can manage it🙄.

What @rebrascora said! You can also print reports from Libreview, or email them, if that's what you or your GP prefer

No, you can sign up and use it yourself. I think the AGP page is a rather nice summary (which the app and reader don't offer yet).

If your healthcare team are suitably equipped they can give you a code to enter to allow them to also view your readings.

ok i have installed libreview on linux mint which i use 99% of the time but did not work so installed on windows which worked but could not find files in freestyle librelink on my phone but found my freestyle reader so am back to square one,

No idea how you download readings on a phone to libreview, you just plug the reader in to the usb port on your puter using the same violent yellow cable you use to charge it - and tell it to download. And Lo! - it does.

Hi trophy yes i have been doing that for a number of years but but found the reader was allways in accurate compared to xdrip+ with MM but recently i installed librelink on my phone and found it much more accurate than the reader ,I use it to confirm xdrip readings when i have highs and lows and found it very accurate compared to the reader , getting back to my post i need to be able to print some reports to keep the new doctor happy so that i don't lose my pump.

My reader always gives the same results as the phone. Have you got the latest update on the reader?

To print the LibreView data, I can’t find a print button, so if I wanted to I would do is right click on the data and press Print on the drop down menu that appears. I’ve no need to print the data, because my diabetes team have LibreLink installed. They requested permission to access my data, I gave them permission and they could see the same as I do. Your doctor could do exactly the same thing, it costs nowt to download.

And TW, the Librelink App automatically loads its readings into LibreView. And any USB to USB-c cable will transfer the data to the computer. Mine’s black. The yellow clashes with the decor in the man cave.

I actually quite like it being instantly recognisable and not being 'borrowed' to charge phones, like the charger and cable for my pump handset fairly instantly was! Can be yellow cum pink with blue spots for me!

My present diabetic doctor is not very high tech i was the first to have the freestyle libre which i financed for the first year before it became free ,it took her a long time to get her head round the freestyle libre and knows nothing about xdrip and MM ,I will wait and see what the new diabetic doctor is like and if he is more tuned in to whats going on ,thanks for your posts.

Click Glucose Reports and Print button is at bottom right of LibreView screen

My clinic have instant access to my Libreview - they set it up when they started me off with a Libre and sent me an email with the link ready for me to click! I just needed to register on the site, which remembers my log in details so I open the prog up, and click Log In, and then download the reader as described, and check all the results and take whatever action I see fit. I've downloaded my pump to the pump software since I had my first pump 10 years ago. There's no point whatever in the NHS investing in technology for us, if their employees won't use it. Waste of our money in fact unless they fully embrace the flippin tech themselves.

In LibreLink you can export any of the reports for printing (via email if nothing else) though I think those only export as screengrab pictures.

When downloading the meter the Abbott software used to allow you to create PDF reports if I remember right.
