USB Data Cable for Abbott Glucose Diabetes Meter, Copilot Freestyle Freedom, Freestyle Lite, Freestyle Freedom lite and Freestyle Flash. Driver Should Be Installed. 3 FT

Following the instructions for installation of software and drivers is clearly important, but the instructions are well written - agree with the manufacturer here it is important to know your system - 32 bit or 64 bit OS, USB 2.0 or USB 3.0? A bit of homework perhaps, but even with searching I had the cable fully functional in about 20 minutes. Biggest complain here seems to be not being able to find the CoPilot software - I tried leaving a link to the download in my last review but that is not allowed, so all I can say is that both the US (mg/dl) and International (mmol/L) versions _ARE STILL AVAILABLE_ for download, however can no longer be downloaded from the Freestyle website - again, some google searching required. Any way, thank you Washinglee for saving me about $20 on buying the cable directly from Abbott! Quality product!

This product IS NOT compatable with Freestyle LibreView. Freestyle Co-Pilot is discontinued. DO NOT purchace this product to use with your freestyle lite, freedom, freedom lite glucose meters, it will not work. The link I was given to upload a different driver did nothing. My meter cannot be read. Spend the extra money and get the Freestyle cable. It's not a better value if it doesn't work.

The quality of this cable and the service was excellent. I had no issues with the cable or the delivery. Getting software to work with this cable was complicated. I wanted to use this to connect my PC with my Abbott Freestyle Freedom Lite meter. Being that this is a third party cable that does not have the chip that the Abbot OEM cable has means that the consumer has to find, download, and install the proper third party driver. This was a lot more complicated than I imagined. This may be one of those things that a 10 year old kid could handle easily, but neither my wife (IT Professional) nor I (reasonably smart guy) could manage to get to work. I decided to return it and just purchase the Abbott OEM cable. It was only $25 more and I expect that it will be a lot easier to use. So, if you are really good at understanding how to install third party software and separate drivers, this cable would be an excellent way to save $25. The cable was of good quality and for the price, a good value if you are willing to put in a lot of work getting the associated software to work.

I’m giving this Washinglee USB data cable for the Abbott Freedom Freestyle Glucose Meter a three-star rating based solely on the vendor’s reliability and accurate product representation. The cable arrived as described, but unfortunately, it did not perform as advertised. Upon connection, the USB port on my computer began to heat up, and the cable failed to establish any link with the glucose meter. Despite multiple attempts and troubleshooting, I was unable to get it working. The included instructions were vague, and the provided URL for the driver led to a dead end. The support experience was frustrating and unhelpful. Unless you have advanced computer knowledge and a lot of patience, I would not recommend this product. A better alternative is a Bluetooth-enabled monitor like the Bayer Contour Next or Contour One, which typically costs around $40 and offers a far more user-friendly experience.

This cable is considerably cheaper than the official one from Abbott. However I did not fully read all the description on the webpage. This cable will work with my Abbott Freestyle Lite meter .. but .. does not work with Abbott's software. I was able to find and download CoPilot software and the cable works fine .. no need to add any drivers on my Win 10 machine. The only "problem" is that the software reads in international units mmol/L instead of what is used in the USA mg/dl. However the low, normal and high ranges ( in color ) are still good.

First off, calling Abbott tech support only gets a sales pitch for their branded Cable for more than twice the price. Works fine with the Copilot Freestyle Freedom Lite Co-Pilot software. Download the driver from the suggested website and follow the steps that the reviewer Exiles posted (Instructions Follow).: 1. Went to the Freestyle Web site and downloaded the Copilot Program. 2. Went to the Web Address that Wishinglee included with the cable, and got the Drivers for WIN7. 3. Installed the Drivers, plugged in the Cable only (make sure the plus are fully seated), opened Device Manager, and setup the USB and COM Port updates. 4. Installed the Copilot Program, connected the Meter, but got data error- unable to read. 5. Went to DataEntry on the top bar, selected Assign Default Device, Set to COM5 and restarted PC. 6. Hit the Read Device and all was well.

Follow the instructions...you will not have any problems...works great

It works with (ancient) CoPilot -- which only displays test values in mmol/L, not in mg/DL so it's pretty useless for people in the USA.. AutoAssist (newer than CoPilot but deprecated by LibreView) closes all the windows on my desktop thus disrupting my work, so it's a piece of trash. LibreView, the latest attempt from Abbott, won't talk to this cable because, for some reason, it tries to talk directly to the hardware using custom drivers instead of using the COM: port. At the end of the day, I wish I'd understood more about my options before I made the decision to buy this.

No puedo descargar el software para utilizarlo.con free estile

Not sure if it’s the cable or me; does not seem to work.

Abbott Labs offers a free software app for their Freestyle monitors but this cable is not compatible. So you have to buy the Abbott cable and get the free software OR buy this cable and then pay about $ 75. for software that is compatible.

Once the recommended driver had been downloaded and installed, the cable worked immediately with no further fuss. Good value at about half the price of the glucose meter vendor's cable.

It works properly.
