Hi,
My wife has type 1 and I bought Libre for her.
We have the following problem, how it is possible to log all data (sugar, carbs, insulin) into one place.
We thought about Libre Link app, as I know you can log carbs and insulin but cant import sugar readings from reader.
In Libre desktop soft you can enter all data but you can't carry pc all time to log data several times during a day.
So we are looking for solution, any help will be appreciated.

I download all my stuff to an excel spreadsheet. The exportable logs on the Libre desk top transfer easily to excel and you can add columns for anything else you fancy. It just means entering them once a day or whenever.

Thanks.
We were looking for Android app to combine all together.
 
Your sensor will store the last 8 hours worth of data. I use the Libre reader to scan and this stores up to 3 months data from the scans, and you can use the reader to show you various graphs, statistics, etc for periods of 7, 14, 30 and 90 days

The Libre software that Abbott provides for your PC will accept all the data from the reader, i.e. up to 3 months worth. Each time you upload from the reader it will give you the complete cumulated information that it's holding as the the PC software unfortunately doesn't store this data, but it does allow you to work with it to produce graphs or files which can be saved or printed in pdf format, or exported in suitable format (tabbed) for using in Excel etc:

ID Time Record Type Historic Glucose (mmol/L) Scan Glucose (mmol/L) Non-numeric Rapid-Acting Insulin Rapid-Acting Insulin (units) Non-numeric Food Carbohydrates (grams) Non-numeric Long-Acting Insulin Long-Acting Insulin (units) Notes Strip Glucose (mmol/L) Ketone (mmol/L) Meal Insulin (units) Correction Insulin (units)

Can't you use the Android version of office which has Excel? That way you can enter any data you want on a spread sheet and export it to a full pc if you need. Does the Libre app have some way to export the data a txt file which could be imported into an excel spreadsheet?
 
I use my phone to scan with LibreLink and I can add carbs, insulin and exercise directly to it on my phone, plus I can make a note if I want to. I signed in to LibreView on my pc as well. The phone automatically transfers everything to LibreView, no need to fiddle with cables.
The phone app already allows you to look back on different things and the LibreView gives you even more pretty graphs and stats.
I hope this helps.

That is perfect but her phone doesn't support that, so if we use LibreLink it will store all data but not sugar values, if we use desktop version then you have to carry it to log everything.

Thank you all.
I was thinking it will be ease to find an universal app. Before she had a Coutour Next usb meter and this $30 thing can log everything and then export to PC, it is so easy, I was thinking do do all this with one app.
Excel in phone, collecting data from different sources and then analyzing that is difficult.
 
If you use the reader you should be able to add in food and insulin, and also use it as a conventional BG finger prick tester, it can also calculate bolus. You may need to go into settings and/or healthcare professional settings to enable this, you'll need the code for that. The code is easily found on the internet, but you do need to be aware of what you're setting and read the manual.

I didn't now that, I thought reader was only for scanning and was not able to store any other data, withing several days we will have the first batch of sensors and readers and I'll have a look, that will solve everything.
Thank you so much.
