The FeeStyle Libre app is a success in managing diabetes. You need to put a small sensor on your arm and have a scanner check your blood sugar level in real time. The best app to measure blood sugar and diabetes from your smartphone.

The new system was developed by Abbott and enhanced with mobile application development.

Purpose of this app is to detect blood sugar indirectly for possible blood sugar control.

Have you ever thought of controlling your blood sugar levels without taking a single drop of blood out of your body? This is a new monitoring method.

How does this application work?

When the user places their index finger under the phone's flash, the app checks for a pulse. In this way, the heart rate can be obtained from the pulse wave.

During the study period, measurements were compared in over 54,000 people who reported having diabetes. Thus, inequalities of pulse waveforms between people with and without the disease can be detected.

The next step was to compare the different waveforms of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in another group of patients.

Therefore, the main objective of the FreeStyle Libre application is to “train” you so that you can capture different glucose levels directly from the waves and thus be able to establish a relationship between the two metrics.

The coolest thing about the FreeStyle Libre app is that you can see your blood sugar changes in a user-friendly graph and then take action to improve your diabetes control. “It increases the capacity of the patient. If you're using technology just to not prick your finger, I think it's expensive,” said Couri.

How to use the FreeStyle app?

Step 1. Download FreeStyle LibreLink. It is available on Android and iOS devices.

Step 2. Create a new account to use in the app.

Step 3. “Scan” your sensor to scan.
