# LibreView: what it is, how to log in and how it differs from LibreLinkUp > LibreView is Abbott's website (libreview.com) where your FreeStyle Libre readings are stored and turned into reports, such as the AGP with time in range, for you and your clinic. It uses the same login as the app that reads your sensor (FreeStyle LibreLink or FreeStyle Libre 3), not your LibreLinkUp account, which is why that password won't open LibreLinkUp. URL: https://dulceglucosa.com/en/blog/libreview Author: Levan Khimshiashvili Published: 2026-10-24 Updated: 2026-10-24 If you wear a FreeStyle Libre, you've probably seen the name LibreView in an email from Abbott, on a clinic letter or in your Libre app's menu. It's not another app to install. LibreView is Abbott's website where your sensor readings end up, mainly so that you and your diabetes team can look at them as reports. This guide explains what it is, which login it uses, how to share it with your clinic, and why the same password won't get you into LibreLinkUp. ## What LibreView is Abbott describes LibreView as a secure, cloud-based diabetes management system, made for patients and healthcare professionals to review historical glucose data. In practice it's a website (libreview.com) where your readings are stored and turned into reports. Two things it's **not**: - It's not a live view. LibreView is for looking back over days and weeks, not for watching your glucose right now. - It doesn't make treatment decisions. Abbott states that the software isn't meant to replace professional advice. The reports are a starting point for a conversation with your care team. ## Which account LibreView uses This is where most of the confusion comes from. Abbott has three names that look almost the same: | Name | What it is | Which login | | --- | --- | --- | | **FreeStyle LibreLink** / **FreeStyle Libre 3** | The app you read your sensor with | Your own account | | **LibreView** | The website with your history and reports | **The same account** as that app | | **LibreLinkUp** | The app for following someone else's glucose | **A separate account** | If you use the LibreLink or Libre 3 app, you already have a LibreView account: you log in at libreview.com with the same email and password. You don't need to register again. LibreLinkUp is the odd one out. It's a follower account, created separately, that only sees data once the person wearing the sensor invites it. That's why your LibreLink or LibreView password "doesn't work" in LibreLinkUp: it's a different account, even if you used the same email. If that's your problem right now, our guide to [LibreLinkUp not working](https://dulceglucosa.com/en/blog/librelinkup-not-working) walks through each case. ## How your readings get into LibreView **With the phone app**, readings are uploaded automatically as long as the phone has a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. You don't have to do anything. **With a Libre reader**, the upload is manual. Abbott's steps: log in at libreview.com on a computer, connect the reader with its USB cable and start the upload from the website. The first time, the site asks you to install its device drivers. > If your clinic says your LibreView is empty, check how the sensor was started. Readings taken with a reader only reach LibreView when you upload them from a computer. ## How to share LibreView with your clinic Clinics that use LibreView have a **practice ID**, a code that belongs to that clinic. Ask them for it; don't use a code you found online, because it would link your data to someone else's clinic. 1. **Get your clinic's practice ID**: Ask your diabetes team for their LibreView practice ID. If they emailed you an invitation and you accepted it, you're already linked. 2. **Link it from the app or the website**: In the Libre app, open **Connected Apps**, choose **LibreView** and connect to a practice with the ID. On libreview.com you can do the same from your account settings, in the practices section. 3. **Check it worked**: The practice should now appear in your account. On libreview.com you can remove it whenever you want to stop sharing. ## The reports your clinic looks at According to Abbott, LibreView produces several reports. The ones you're most likely to see at an appointment: - **AGP report** (Ambulatory Glucose Profile): all your days stacked into a single typical day, with the median and the spread, plus your **time in range** and other statistics. This format follows the international consensus on time in range. - **Daily patterns**: averages by time of day, with carbs and insulin if they were logged. - **Glucose Pattern Insights**: a guided summary of patterns, including an estimated A1c. If "time in range" or "GMI" are new terms, our guide to [time in range vs. A1C](https://dulceglucosa.com/en/blog/time-in-range-vs-a1c) explains what they measure and the usual targets. ## Where Dulce fits in Dulce doesn't replace LibreView and doesn't need your LibreView account. It signs in with a **LibreLinkUp** account that you share your readings with, and from there shows your glucose on the Lock Screen, in widgets and on your Apple Watch. If sign-in fails, Dulce tells you the most common reason is having typed your LibreLink (and therefore LibreView) details, and explains which account it needs. Dulce only reads your readings; it doesn't send anything to LibreView or to your clinic. [See your glucose at a glance with Dulce](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6770694596?pt=127601978&ct=blog_libreview&mt=8) What LibreView does for your appointments, Dulce's **Trends** tab does on your phone between them: time in range, average glucose and estimated A1C for 7, 14, 30 or 90 days, and which time of day goes worst. See the [Trends guide](https://dulceglucosa.com/en/blog/glucose-trends-time-in-range-gmi). To check a number from a report in other units, use the [mg/dL to mmol/L converter](https://dulceglucosa.com/en/tools/glucose-converter-mg-dl-mmol-l). > Reports and apps help you spot patterns, but changes to your treatment are decided with your care team. Dulce is not a medical device and doesn't replace your sensor's alarms. ## Sources - Abbott. *LibreView for healthcare providers*.

You and your care team can see reports of your readings there, such as the AGP report with time in range. **Which username and password do I use for LibreView?** The same ones as the app you read your sensor with (FreeStyle LibreLink or FreeStyle Libre 3). If you use that app, you already have a LibreView account. **Can I log in to LibreLinkUp with my LibreView account?** No. LibreLinkUp is the follower app and has its own account. It has to be invited from Connected Apps in the Libre app of the person wearing the sensor. **Does Dulce need my LibreView account?** No. Dulce signs in with a LibreLinkUp account you share your readings with. It can't sign in with your LibreLink or LibreView details.
