Care circle members follow for free. IMPORTANT SangraMate requires a free LibreLinkUp account with a compatible FreeStyle Libre sensor (Libre 2, 2 Plus, 3, or 3 Plus). SangraMate is an independent companion app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Abbott. Forecasts, look-ahead alarms, and insulin on board are calculated from the doses you log, so they are designed for injections (MDI). If you use an insulin pump, live glucose, logging, and pattern features still work, but forecasts and insulin on board won't include pump-delivered insulin. SangraMate is a support and journaling tool, not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Never make treatment decisions based on SangraMate alone. Always follow your glucose monitoring device and the guidance of your healthcare team.
