Use of FreeStyle LibreLink requires registration with LibreView.
Please check this website for more information about device compatibility before using the app. The FreeStyle LibreLink app is only compatible with certain mobile devices and operating systems. A sensor started by the FreeStyle Libre reader will also communicate with the FreeStyle LibreLink app. § The FreeStyle LibreLink app and the FreeStyle Libre reader have similar but not identical features. A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycemia or impending hypoglycemia is reported by the FreeStyle LibreLink app or when symptoms do not match the app readings. The FreeStyle Libre sensor communicates with the FreeStyle Libre reader that started it or the FreeStyle LibreLink app that started it. ‡ Sensor is water-resistant in up to 1 metre (3 feet) of water. † 60-minute warm-up required when applying the sensor. * Data based on the number of users worldwide for the FreeStyle Libre system compared to the number of users for other leading personal-use sensor-based glucose monitoring systems. You may be eligible for additional coverage of up to 12 months. Reapplication requests require up to 25 business days to process. To ensure uninterrupted coverage, be sure to follow up with your prescribing physician before your first 3 months of coverage ends.If you qualify for coverage, you will receive reimbursement for a 3-month period to determine if the FreeStyle Libre system is right for you. Once your request is approved by RAMQ, you can fill your prescription in a pharmacy.Your approval will also be sent to you by mail. Bring your prescription to your local pharmacy and ask your pharmacy team to check the status of your application online.Your prescribing physician will fill out and submit an authorization request to RAMQ, which can take up to 25 business days to process.Speak with your prescribing physician to confirm your eligibility for coverage by RAMQ.

The new FGM system facilitates the therapeutic empowerment of people with T1D, but in a context of structured education.Quebec is now providing public reimbursement for the FreeStyle Libre sensors, covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ), ‡‡‡ for Quebec residents 18 years or older with experience in diabetes self-management and managing diabetes with insulin.
Our study shows that using the FGM system improves HbA1c levels in people with T1D along with a moderate increase in the number of mild hypoglycaemic events. They were correlated with improved HbA1c. The number (but not the duration) of hypoglycaemic events slightly increased from 16.9 ± 1.44 per month at baseline to 24.0 ± 2.91 per month at 12 months, after reaching a peak of 26.4 ± 2.31 per month at 6 months. HbA1c levels decreased from 8.51% ± 0.14% at baseline to 7.77% ± 0.09% after 3 months to slightly increase to 7.92% ± 0.09% at 12 months, in correlation with the number of scans per day. Participants stopped immediately of measuring capillary blood glucose (2.88 ± 0.12 per day) (mean ± SEM) after having received the first FSL device and the number of scans per day increased up to 8.87 ± 0.58 per day. After having been instructed about FGM utilization, participants were trained to optimize the glycaemic control. This 12-month observational study included 120 individuals with T1D evaluated every 3 months. We sought of evaluating the tolerance, the acceptance and the efficacy of the FGM system in routine medical practice. There are not yet data reporting the impact of FGM in people with T1D in real-life conditions. Using the novel FreeStyle Libre (FSL), glucose monitoring (FGM) system becomes increasingly popular among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is associated with less and shorter hypoglycaemic events without deterioration of HbA1c.
