[Diabetes-Talk] FreeStyle Libre questions

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I do not use Libre but Dexcom, but they are similar. To my knowledge, Libre, like Dexcom, has no way to download readings. With Dexcom, there's the Dexcom Clarity app which lets me give access to people so they can access my readings; I have given my endo's office access and my husband, but he's also blind, and we discovered the Clarity app is not accessible at all for blind people despite the actual Dexcom app being completely accessible.

My point being there's nothing to download; it's all digital.

Hi,
Ok, got it.
So, can I download the log from the iPhone?
Thanks.
