Freestyle Libre 1

To use your Libre as a CGM that is getting new BG values every 5 minutes without having to scan the sensor, you need to buy an NFC to Bluetooth bridge (commercially available devices, based on the obsolete LimiTTer project).

Several bridges are available on the market:

Historically it is possible to use a specific watch, the Sony Smartwatch 3 (SWR50) which has an NFC chip that can be enabled and used as an NFC collector. However the custom NFC to Bluetooth bridges listed above offer a less complex solution and would be used by the majority of those wanting to use their Libre 1 (non-US) as a CGM.

Wenn Du den Libre 1 als BZ-Quelle nutzt, können aus Sicherheitsgründen die Funktionen Enable SMB always und Enable SMB after carbs für den SMB Algorithmus leider nicht zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Die BZ-Werte des Libre 1 sind für einen sicheren Einsatz dieser Funktionen nicht glatt genug. Näheres hierzu findest du unter Glättung der Blut-Glukose-Daten.
