Losing the connection between a FreeStyle Libre 2 and an Apple Watch can be frustrating, but here are some steps that may help restore it:

1. Restart both devices β€” Turn off your Apple Watch and iPhone, then turn them back on.
2. Check Bluetooth β€” Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone, as the Libre 2 connects via Bluetooth.
3. Force close the LibreLink app β€” Swipe it away and reopen it on your iPhone.
4. Check the app on your Apple Watch β€” Open the Watch app on your iPhone, go to "My Watch," and make sure the LibreLink app is installed and enabled.
5. Re-scan your sensor β€” Open the LibreLink app on your iPhone and scan your sensor to re-establish the connection.
6. Reinstall the app β€” If nothing works, try deleting and reinstalling the LibreLink app on your iPhone.

Keep in mind that the Apple Watch displays readings *from* the LibreLink app on your iPhone, so the phone needs to stay nearby for the watch to show your glucose levels.

If the issue persists, reaching out to Abbott (FreeStyle Libre's manufacturer) support directly is a great next step β€” they're usually very helpful!
