    AWESOME!!! I am a 72 year old "newbie" to CGMs (Freestyle Libre 3). I had no idea all that it could do--I didn't even know there was an online website for tracking purposes until watching this video! You explained everything so clearly and I learned so much! It is all starting to make sense to me and I have decided that I love my Libre 3! I have only used it for 4 days, but am "in range" 88 percent of the time. Now I know how to improve that! Thank you SO much!

It will be different for the next visit, now that you have shown me how to do it myself. Great job and great channel. Thanks again.

Why isn't this mentioned anywhere? I'm using the app only (because I couldn't bought the reader anymore here in the Netherlands), maybe important to know, which I didn't realize, you'll have to use the same email address as you use within the app. Otherwise you can't see that data.

Watching your video I wanted to download my sons LibreView report and when tried I found it was emty. I have some questions, to store my sons data in the cloud it is necesary to conect LibreLinkUp with LibreView? I dont want to share data with any doctor but I have to put a PracticeID? Its there any other way to save the data in a cloud and look at the reports?

    If you’re using the app it should upload automatically. Also, make sure you’re using the same login as you are on the app. If you use the receiver you have to upload the receiver. It should allow you to choose the patient portal, not the medical one. I’m not sure you and I would be able to use the medical one as we don’t have a clinic code. But I haven’t tried

    Got it, thanks. Just a side question: What if diabetics stopped eating carbohydrates in all forms and shapes entirely? What would happen to their BG levels? I've been 100% carnivore for 1.5 years, lost 45 kg, and got rid of RA. I consume high amounts of animal fat, and my 24 hour BG fluctuation is between 4.4 and 6.0, HbA1c is 5.1 I'm not sure whether it's fine either.

    For some completely cutting out carbohydrates means less blood sugar fluctuations. If you’re insulin dependent it might reduce your mealtime insulin needs

    I am having two questions about my Libre3 reports. On the AGP Report, the Time in Range is set at 70-180. When I go into Report Settings to Change it to 70-130 and save it, it stays at 70-180 in my reports. Also my Daily Log Reports, I do not understand the Max and Min values in the square box. Mine sometimes range from 130-55 and that is not what I observed when I was monitoring my iPhone readings the previous day.

    Do you mean the area around the line that shows your blood sugar average? That area shows how your blood sugars have fluctuated around the average. The darker area is the 25th to 75th Percentile and the lighter grey is the 5th to 95th Percentile. Simplified that means all of your blood sugar data is divided into quarters which can help you identify how your blood sugars fluctuate
