[Diabetes-Talk] FreeStyle Libre questions

[Jeanette Kutash]

Readings can be downloaded from the Libre through an app, but anyone needing to do it needs sighted assistance as it is not accessible to us. There is also an app that doctors and professionals can have access to so that we can share our readings with them and they can check them themselves.

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.
