LibreLinkUp for iPhone

App summary and availability

LibreLinkUp is a free iPhone application from Newyu Inc. Listed under Education & Reference with a Medicine subcategory, it is designed to help people keep track of someone else’s glucose readings when that person is using a compatible FreeStyle Libre sensor and the FreeStyle Libre mobile app.

How it helps caregivers and loved ones

• View another person’s glucose numbers on your phone after they send you an invitation to connect.
• Keep an eye on trends and recent scans at a glance without needing direct access to the wearable sensor.
• Offer timely support and suggestions based on the data you see, helping the person you’re monitoring manage their diabetes more effectively.

Linking and sharing process

To start monitoring someone, they must send you an invitation from their FreeStyle Libre app. Accept the request and you’ll be connected; both the LibreLinkUp app and the FreeStyle Libre user’s app must have internet access for real-time sharing to work.

Data review and insights

• Tap the glucose chart to inspect short-term trends and see how levels have changed recently.
• Browse a scan history or logbook to review past readings and alarms, useful for spotting recurring patterns.

Alerts and sensor notifications

• Receive notifications when glucose values drift into high or low ranges so you can respond quickly.
• Get sensor-related alerts, such as when a new sensor is activated or if the sensor loses connection to the user’s app.

Display options and usability

• Choose a darker interface for low-light environments so information remains readable without being intrusive.

Compatibility and regional availability

• Some functions are only available when the person you are monitoring uses FreeStyle Libre 2 or FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors.
• Feature availability can change by country, so check local support and regulatory information.
