As far as I know, if you have the app set up you don't need the reader at all.

I have never had the reader, as I understood when these things came out and became accessible through the iPhone, but the reader was superfluous. You can activate the sensor without the reader, unless they’ve changed something, which is incredibly stupid, since the reader is otherwise not accessible at all. I’m really confused. Because I know back when I used these sensors over the course of a year or a year and a half often on, no reader was ever necessary. I’ve never even seen it.

You will need to activate each new sensor you put on your arm. After a sensor is activated you will have to wate one hour for the sensor to start working. Then you can use the app on your phone.

The app should scan the sensor and give you what you need to know. I don’t have diabetes, so I am just going on what I read. I know some on this list use the Freestyle sensors, so I hope you get a response soon. Its great that Voice Dream Scanner did such a good job. Winston I’m sure would appreciate hearing about that. wins...@voicedream.com Richard “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” – Jane Wagner My Web site: https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Vivian Conger Sent: Friday, September 24, 2021 2:56 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Free Style Libre Arrived Hi All, I received my Free Style Libre earlier this week and had an appointment with the nurse yesterday. She apologized that it didn’t talk. I told her that it does now that there is an app for the iPhone. She set up the reader and I inserted the new sensor. After I got home, I installed Libre 2 on my phone but it won’t scan the sensor as it was installed on a different device. I received an email stating that this could be done but have not figured out how to do it yet. I’ve used Seeing AI to read the screen with limited success but just tried VD Scanner and it was perfect. I still would like to be able to scan with my phone instead of the reader. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks for assistance. Vivian and Sallie -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
