Freestyle Libre 1¶
To use your Libre as a CGM that is getting new BG values every 5 minutes you first need to buy a NFC to Bluetooth adapter like:
- MiaoMiao-Reader https://www.miaomiao.cool/
- Blukon Nightrider https://www.ambrosiasys.com/howit
- BlueReader https://bluetoolz.de/blueorder/#home
- Sony Smartwatch 3 (SWR50) als Auslesetool https://github.com/pimpimmi/LibreAlarm/wiki/
Until now, using Libre 1 as BG source you cannot activate ‘Enable SMB always’ and ‘Enable SMB after carbs’ within SMB algorithm. The BG values of Libre 1 are not smooth enough to use it safely. See Smoothing blood glucose data for more details.
