1. 2/5Disappointed…

   I am a Pharmacist on a journey to start a more healthy lifestyle. Part of this lifestyle change is to adopt a more ketogenic diet along with logging and figuring out what foods negatively impact both my glucose and ketone levels. I chose to go with the Libre3 sensor for several reasons including being able to hopefully help myself understand the details and usage of these sensors to better my success and in turn be able to help my patients at the pharmacy as well. So lots to unpack here! My disappointment from a non-diabetic standpoint is this… I am looking at this tool as if I was diabetic. For starters the app is garbage! I feel like I can not zoom in or dig down into when certain levels occurred. All I see is the current reading and a trend. That’s all great but it is like telling a patient to eat less carbs and then not giving them a range of what “less carbs” means. To understand glucose readings you need to be able to see each and every reading down to the minute and log events to help you evaluate it all. If you can not see the readings and go back to see a specific time frame in which levels began to increase or decrease down to the minute level what is the point? For now the best I can give this app is 2 stars… it’s half baked and very little thought has gone into the actual data diabetics and non-diabetics alike need to utilize to achieve the healthy outcomes using the system. Where is the integration with Apple’s Health app? Abbott - you have much work to do on this!

2. 3/5UPDATE - Good but Would Appreciate Improvements

   I see it’s been 11 months since the last version update of this app. Why the long wait? The changes people here are asking for are not that complicated. I’m trying hard to stay with your CGM vs Dexcom because my Doctor prefers Libre but I’m close to switching given your lack of updates. Please reply back with any plans scheduled in the near future. Please add the current reading to the Apple Watch (very important for many). Please see my requests below. Similar to others here & please read their requests. Thank you. ================================================================== I like the Libre 3 quite a bit, but I have a few requests: 1. Need to see my reading on Apple Watch. This is super important for an active person, especially during a workout or in a meeting when I just can’t pull out my phone. 2. I need to be able to go back in time during the day & see a reading for a certain time & enter info like exercise or food for that specific time along with the BG reading. The current “Note” feature is not very good. This would be super helpful, like on a Dexcom, for example. 3. The Notifications don’t alert me with sound. It’s not my settings. They work for everything else on my phone. I only get a message notification, which I often miss without a sound. 4. Can we reduce the alarm for a high reading? During the day it’s way too jarring. The super piercing alarm may be good at night however, to wake us up as needed. Thank you very much!

3. 4/5Poor graph

   Update: though I still believe the ability to see a close up of the graph is very important in increasing my low score to a 4 because I love this device and though I can’t see specific spikes like I would love to see it has been instrumental in controlling my diabetes better. I have been able to lower my A1c from 6.6 to 6.0 in the course of a few months by changing my diet significantly. I no longer feel controlled by cravings or the need to have desserts or sweet drinks and carbs. I really believe this device should be an over the counter product for anyone struggling with diabetes, insulin resistance, food sensitivities etc. changing your diet with this diet is the key to motivation to stay on track and see results whether it’s from lowering blood sugar levels or weight loss etc. I do appreciate this app and the libre 3 cgm, however as a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic I am trying very hard to lower my A1C to the normal range. My numbers aren’t terrible but when something causes a spike and I miss seeing what it topped out at it would be nice to see the individual numbers. It would also be nice to see the time range between spikes and how long it takes to lower because I believe that plays a big part in your bodies ability to heal insulin resistance and metabolic disorders. Please consider making these changes in this app.

4. 4/5better than Libre 2

   I just switched from the Libre 2 to Libre 3, and I like the Libre 3 a lot. The fact it will scan automatically, without pressing "scan" and then holding it next to the sensor, is very nice. (BTW, the Libre 2 app had gotten a lot more glitchy over the past 6 months or so before I switched over, but the Libre 3 app seems a lot less so. For example, the libre 2 lately would have a significant delay on the scanning function, and sometimes I'd have to try multiple times to get a successful scan. The Libre 2 was not always like that but it was getting pretty annoying the past few months. Anyway I haven't had any of those issues with the Libre 3. It automatically scans right when you open the app, with no delay, and almost always works the first try.) One difference I've noticed between the Libre 2 & Libre 3 is, Libre 2 app would automatically add an entry to the logbook every time you scanned, with the time & blood sugar. And of course there was the option to add a note related to insulin, exercise, or miscellaneous. But the Libre 3 seems to *only* record an entry in the logbook if (a) it is the first scan you've made after crossing from target range into high/low range, or (b) if you add a comment. This is probably to avoid adding tons of logbook entries that you don't need. Some people may like this better, others may prefer the way the Libre 2 did it.

5. 3/5Can’t turn off alarms. Inaccurately wakes me up all night.

   Update. After using for six weeks the third sensor ended in the middle of the night, cutting out about three hours of use, based on when I applied the last, and then the app froze on “you must be an adult”. After applying a new sensor, the app remained frozen. Tried turning on and off my phone. That didn’t help. I had to uninstall the app and reinstall, losing all my history data. Here’s my original review. No changes since my review: You can’t turn off certain alarms in this version, so the app keeps waking me up. The problem is I’m a side sleeper so the sensor regularly loses connectivity or senses an inaccurate low reading. I have resorted to turning off my Bluetooth in order to get any sleep. When turning on my Bluetooth in the morning it won’t connect unless I reopen the app and wait three minutes. Thankfully, the sensor seems to have some built in memory, so it generally charts my nighttime numbers once I reconnect. I also dislike the fact that I can no longer take an immediate reading. It’s nice that the app reads the sensor every few minutes, but sometime you need to know right away and don’t have the luxury of staring at your phone for a few minutes in order to get a current reading. Fix these few things and it will be a great app. Not sure what can be done about the inaccurate readings when sleeping on my side, but I can live with that since I’m pretty consistent with my night numbers.
