How to get back your FreeStyle Libre data?
For the people who own a FreeStyle Libre glucometer, you should know that it is possible to extract every data inside the memory in a single text file (CSV format).Furthermore, if you also use the FreeStyle Libre continuous sensor, you also have the possiblity to get the interstitial blood glucoses that are automatically acquired when you wear the sensor.
This file can later be imported on Diabegraph to get every data directly online.
To date, here are the data that Diabegraph can take care of inside these CSV files:
- Interstitial blood glucoses automatically acquired when the sensor is worn;
- Interstitial blood glucoses manually scanned with the glucometer;
- Capillary blood glucoses manually realized with lancets and strips;
- Ketone bodies measures manually realized with lancets and strips.
