When you first open the app, you'll be walked through the steps to apply the sensor, but we'll go through it here today.

Here's what you'll find in your Vively box:

  • x1 sensor pack

  • x1 sensor applicator

  • x2 sensor patches/covers

  • x2 alcohol wipes

Step 1: Pick a spot on the back of your arm.

Step 2: Clean the spot with your alcohol wipes.

Step 3: Peel open the sensor pack and unscrew the cap from the sensor applicator.

Step 4: Insert the sensor applicator into the sensor pack and then pull out the sensor. Don't play with or touch the sensor at this point, as it can easily break!

Step 5: Place the sensor applicator on your arm and press down evenly. This part doesn't hurt! It's best to calmly apply the sensor and not think about it too much.

Step 6: Activate your sensor. Open up the FreeStyle Libre app and tap the scan button. Place the front, top part of your phone close to the sensor. When you've done this, go back to the Vively app to refresh your data. Then follow the prompts on your phone to connect FreeStyle Libre with the Vively app.

All done!
