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).
Libre 2, Libre 1 US and Libre Pro
Verify the bridge and the app you want to use are compatible with your sensor.
Some bridges are still available on the market:
MiaoMiao Reader (version 1, 2 or 3) also available on AliExpress.
Bubble / Mini / Nano from European vendors (BubbleShop) or for Russian users here. Also available on AliExpress.
Atom for Russian users.
