Getting Started
This page provides supporting information to help you get the most out of the GlucoseInsights mobile app.
Need quick help? Most issues can be resolved by ensuring your CGM app writes to Apple Health and that GlucoseInsights has permission to read from it.
CGM/Glucose Data
How do I get CGM/Glucose data into GlucoseInsights?
GlucoseInsights retrieves Glucose information from Apple HealthKit. To ensure Glucose information appears in the app, you must:
- Allow permission for your CGM app to write to Apple HealthKit.
- Allow permission for GlucoseInsights to read from Apple HealthKit.
How do I allow permission for my CGM app to write to Apple HealthKit?
Follow the specific sharing instructions for your CGM device:
- Dexcom
- Freestyle Libre
- Freestyle Libre does not support direct writing of CGM data to Apple HealthKit and is not supported at present. We are working to support direct API integration of Libre data soon.
Activity Data (Strava)
How do I get Activity data into the app?
GlucoseInsights integrates with Strava to retrieve and show Activity data. If you do not have a Strava account, you can register for free at strava.com.
Apple Health Permissions
How do I allow GlucoseInsights to read from Apple HealthKit?
During the onboarding flow, GlucoseInsights will request permission to read Glucose and Heart Rate information from Apple HealthKit. If you didn't grant permission during onboarding, you can do it later:
- Open the Health app.
- Go to Sharing > Apps and Services > Glucose Insights.
- Turn On All permissions.
