How to connect your Abbott FreeStyle Libre data

Access sensor-based glucose data from FreeStyle Libre devices via Thryve’s API. Deliver continuous insights for diabetes management, preventive health, and digital therapeutics.

Seamless Integration of FreeStyle Libre with Thryve

Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre is a leader in flash glucose monitoring (FGM), enabling users to scan a wearable sensor for real-time blood glucose data without finger pricks. Thryve simplifies the integration of Libre data across supported models, harmonizing the data stream into your health platform with secure OAuth2-based consent.

Whether your users connect via LibreLink or LibreView, Thryve ensures fast, reliable, and compliant access to glucose insights.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions:
Connection Essentials

  • How do I connect FreeStyle Libre data to my app?
    • Thryve uses OAuth-based authorization through Abbott’s ecosystem (LibreLink/LibreView). Once users consent, we securely retrieve and normalize glucose data for API delivery.
  • Which FreeStyle Libre models are supported?
    • Our integration supports:
      • FreeStyle Libre
      • Libre 2
      • Libre 3
      • LibreLink and LibreView-connected devices
  • What glucose data can I retrieve from Abbott through Thryve?
    • Available metrics include:
      • Glucose values (continuous and scanned)
      • Time-in-range and variability
      • Hypo/hyper alerts
      • Sensor activation and reading timestamps
      • Event tagging (meals, insulin, activity)
  • Why use Thryve instead of Abbott’s direct APIs?
    • Thryve reduces development time and complexity by offering a harmonized API that supports multiple CGM vendors. You gain faster access, unified data formats, and seamless scaling across ecosystems.
