> ℹ️ Approval requires direct relationship with Abbott. Acceptance is not guaranteed. This integration is supported in the US only.

Validic is pleased to announce we are expanding the Validic Marketplace with the addition of continuous glucose monitoring with Abbott. Abbott FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system empowers individuals with diabetes by providing real-time glucose readings and trends, enabling proactive management of their condition. With its user-friendly design and painless sensor application, the FreeStyle Libre enhances patient engagement and improves overall health outcomes, making diabetes management simpler and more effective.

To request the addition of Abbott to your marketplace, please submit a request to [support@validic.com](mailto:support@validic.com). Customer applications are subject to pre-approval and special licensing requirements defined by Abbott in order to receive data from Abbott meters. For a basic understanding of how to sync a device or app with Validic, please review our “[Marketplace Syncing](https://support.validic.com/customer/portal/articles/2877609-marketplace-syncing-process)” overview.

> ℹ️ Abbott has their own rules for who they work with and what types of projects they support. They decide whether to approve a client or request. Validic can share contact details and help make introductions, but we cannot promise approval or say when they will respond.

## CGM Data Model

A sample of `cgm` data can be found in our Inform documentation: [https://helpdocs.validic.com/docs/high-frequency-data](https://helpdocs.validic.com/docs/high-frequency-data) 

Note: `sensor_interval` is reported as provided by Abbott, in seconds.

## PDF Reports

> ⚠️ Your Inform organization must be set up to request these pdf reports from Abbott. Please reach out to the Validic Support team for assistance.

Additionally, you will find download link(s) for the report(s) that have been enabled by Abbott in the `measurements` records. This information is available as `tags` in the `measurements` records, as follows:

- `agp_report_url` includes a link to download the pdf version of the AGP report associated with the time range (`start_time` and `end_time`) of the `measurements` record.
- `daily_log_url` includes a link to download the pdf version of the daily log report associated with the time range (`start_time` and `end_time`) of the `measurements` record.
- `daily_patterns_url` includes a link to download the pdf version of the daily patterns report associated with the time range (`start_time` and `end_time`) of the `measurements` record.

You must append your org token as a query param at the end of these report urls in order to access the pdf reports (e.g., “`token=:ORG_TOKEN`”). For example:

```
https://api.v2.validic.com/organizations/:ORG_ID/users/:UID/measurements/:RECORDID/media/:PDFID.pdf?token=:ORG_TOKEN
