    Freestyle Librelink logbook

    If you want the best out of the Libre Link app the easiest way around it and it works for Android and iOS as I have checked as I use it is just add the Libre Link Up app to your account in Libre Link and that you need your login details for as well and once you have that you can have a separate...

    Why use Diabox (or other apps) with Libre 2

    The reason is that you get your results constantly as on the Libre app you only get your results when you go to the app and when you connect it with the Libre Link Up app you also get your results from Libre Link app but that will only display your results when you login to see what your results...
