Meet James.
He has been living with Type 1 diabetes ever since he was a child, and his nine-year-old son was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as well. James and his son currently use Freestyle Libre sensor to keep track of their glucose readings. The FreeStyle Libre Reader scans the Libre sensor but it’s difficult to remember to carry Reader all the time Hence, James and his son often forget to carry the Libre Reader and end up finger pricking even when they are feeling well.
With NightRider, a bluetooth transmitter for Libre Sensor, this will not be a problem for James or his son. NightRider’s user-friendly mobile application, LinkBluCon, makes the process of checking glucose easy for children and parents as well. The application is compatible with Android and iOS devices, and automatically checks glucose readings every five minutes.
By pairing NightRider with the LinkBluCon app and signing up for Caregiver app FollowBluCon, James will also be able to track his son’s glucose readings. NightRider connects with LinkBluCon which is installed on a patient’s phone and a Caregiver is invited by the patient. The Caregiver must install FollowBluCon to see the patient’s readings in near real-time. Patients can invite any type of Caregiver they’d like to—family, doctors, or caretakers. Because James’ son is only nine-years-old, the FollowBluCon application gives James peace of mind. When he is away from his son, he is able to access his son’s glucose levels remotely with the application*.
*LinkBluCon app and Libre reader use different algorithms so readings might be different. Also, never use LinkBluCon app readings to make any medical decision. When in doubt, always use Libre Reader or finger-prick blood glucose test.
Meet Sharon.
She is an avid swimmer, and has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Her doctor recommends that she wear her Freestyle Libre at all times to keep track of her glucose readings instead of the finger-pricking method. The Freestyle Libre is perfect for her because it has a waterproof sensor, but it’s not ideal to use the Reader to scan the sensor in between her laps as she swims.
That’s where NightRider helps her. NightRider’s new waterproof version gives Sharon a way of accessing glucose reading even in the water, without having to use a scanner. The lightweight sticker placed onto the product provides extra protection so she can stay in water for a longer time and go deeper in the water. Every five minutes, her glucose readings are sent to her smartphone, and are available to her and caregivers for access.
She doesn’t have to alter her daily life in any way. Whether she goes for a quick swim or takes a shower, being diabetic does not change her daily routine because all of her readings will be available for access from her smartphone—no scanning is necessary until she feels a need for that.
Meet Samantha.
Samantha’s mother is diabetic and currently lives with her. She uses Freestyle Libre to keep track of her glucose levels, because the finger-pricking method is painful for her. Because Samantha’s mother is aging, it is difficult for her to remember to scan and check her glucose levels. For that reason, Samantha bought her mother a NightRider which shares her glucose levels every five minutes.
When Samantha is at work, she is able to track her mother’s glucose levels because of the FollowBluCon application. In case of an emergency, Samantha will also be notified if her mother’s glucose levels are too high or too low. This would not be possible with the Freestyle Libre alone, as the NightRider Transmitter sends her glucose readings to the app every 5 minutes, which allows Samantha and caretakers to see it in FollowBluCon app.
Thanks for making a device like NightRider which works with Libre 2 sensor and I can also connect to Apple Watch Series 4 without the iPhone. I am using the solution since Sept 1, 2019, without any issues.
I am using Waterproof nightrider with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre sensor since January 2018, it has changed my life. Helped me reduce A1c to 5.6 from 9.7
Before nightrider, I used FreeStyle Libre alone for 2 years and it was not much help. It was always difficult to keep scanning the Libre sensor with the reader and if I forget the reader at home or office then did not have any option except going back to painful fingerpricks. With nightrider I don’t need to carry Libre Reader or my phone all the time as long as I have my apple watch with me.
Recently I bought waterproof nightrider with direct connection to apple watch, this is a huge big step for type 1 diabetic patients. Now we don’t have to carry a phone all the time to see glucose readings.
I am here to buy second NightRider, nice to see a beautiful updated website and so many positive reviews. Earlier I bought a NightRider in late 2017 after I used FreeStyle Libre Reader for more than 9 months to see glucose readings. It was difficult to carry the FreeStyle Reader all the time just like a second phone. Another issue I experienced was beeps every time I scan the Libre sensor with the Libre Reader which gets every person attention at office and other places. Many times I forgot to scan with the Reader and lost readings but once I heard about the NightRider in 2017 I decided to try it. This is one of the best money I spent in my life so far. Now I can see readings on my phone anywhere and at any time without scanning the Libre sensor. Also, I can set my target range in the LinkBluCon app so when reading is outside that range I gets notification. Another important part of the Ambrosia system is their caregiver app followblucon which I am using since Jan 2019, now my husband can see my readings and don’t have to bother me about it. After more than one year of use I am feeling I can’t live without Ambrosia system and buying second NightRider as a back up. Thank you Ambrosia for helping us.
I am using NightRider since May 2017 and very satisfied with the product, never had any issues. NightRider helped me in saving $8000 in last 2 year since I replaced my Dexcom G5 with FreeStyle Libre and NightRider. Keep doing the great work. Good luck!!
Will the launch of BluCon from Ambrosia Systems impact the sale of Dexcom? BluCon converts Abbott s FreeStyle Libre sensor to a CGM and costs 2K instead of 5K.
I am using the Nightrider from last 2 years, it helped save me tons of money. FreeStyle Libre and NightRider BluCon worked better than my earlier Dexcom CGM. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful device.
Great product!! Using it over 19 months now. Like it because bluetooth connectivity is strong, never had connectivity issue except when battery is low. Also, it does not touch my skin, my skin is very sensitive.
I am using the NightRider since May 2018 24/7 never had any issues except one time when I used cheap battery instead of Ambrosia recommended battery.
Great, I really like it! Youre awesome
I am one of your early buyer, I ordered in Feb 2017 when you were taking pre-orders and received the NightRider in May 2017. One of the best investment I made in my life, this device helped me saving a lot of money since I switched from Dexcom G5 to Libre + NightRider.
