<p>There are a number of <em>Libre</em> sensors in which the only option for digital access to the <abbrtitle="continuous glucose monitor, wearable medical device that measures and reports glucose in interstitial fluid">CGM</abbr> readings is to use the app provided by the vendor: <ahref="https://librelinkup.com/"><em>LibreLinkUp</em></a>. This enables you to upload your data to the <em>LibreLinkUp</em> servers and then access the data from there.</p>

The reason to recommend this option is that xDrip4iOS can sense when the <em>Libre</em> transmits glucose readings to your phone, although it cannot read the glucose value. Shortly thereafter, it will request the <abbrtitle="continuous glucose monitor, wearable medical device that measures and reports glucose in interstitial fluid">CGM</abbr> reading from <em>LibreLinkUp</em>.</p>
