Setting up your Freestyle Libre

STEP 1.

Check compatibility
Use our compatibility guides to see if your phone is compatible with the 

FreeStyle Libre 3 or FreeStyle Libre 2 app. 

​

STOP HERE!

If you still need to get your CGM sensor prescribed, send a portal message with what sensor you’d like to use and where you want to pick it up.

Libre 2: costs about $65-$125 out of pocket with insurance; Big Trees MD members get them for $75 cash) 

Libre 3: is typically found at Sonora Safeway and can have an out of pocket cost of $165 with insurance.

 

PRO-TIP: ORDER SKIN TAC WIPES -- these help ensure your sensor stays on during your two weeks of monitoring!  We find that these are more likely to help the monitor stay than alcohol wipes.

STEP 2.

Connect your phone
Make sure that your phone has the latest

software update and is connected to a

network, either WiFi or cellular, and you've

created a Libre account. If you've

purchased your Libre2 from Big Trees MD,

you will need to download the LibreLink,

here.

​

Once you apply the sensor and scan it to

connect it to your phone, it will take 60 mins

from connecting the sensor to when it records the first blood sugar reading. 

​

Connect to Big Trees MD

In the app and when prompted, enter our

Big Trees MD clinic CODE

so that the doctors can

see your sugars:
