Frequently Asked Questions

• Does Glu Sight work with Apple Health?

  Yes. Glu Sight does not read directly from hardware. It only reads and writes through Apple Health.

  • Your CGM, meter, or insulin device writes to Health via its own app; Glu Sight then reads that data from Health.
  • What you log in Glu Sight also saves to Health.
  • Glu Sight supports automatic import from these Apple Health–compatible devices:
    • Accu-Chek® Connect
    • Dexcom® G5, G6, G7
    • InPen™ Smart Insulin Pen
    • OneTouch Verio® Flex by Lifescan
    • OneTouch Verio® Sync by Lifescan
    • One Drop Chrome
  • Sync runs in the background so your data stays current even when the app is closed.
• Is my data private?

  Yes.

  • Your diabetes data stays on your device and in Apple Health.
  • Glu Sight does not send it to its own servers or third parties.
  • The app is funded by optional subscriptions, not by selling your data.

  Your data is yours.

• Do I need to track insulin?

  No.

  • During setup you choose what to track: glucose only, or glucose plus insulin and meal impact.
  • If you use insulin, you can turn on optional therapy reminders.
  • The app adapts and hides features you don't use.
• What is Glu Sight Plus?

  Glu Sight Plus is an optional subscription that unlocks:

  • Personalized insights (time-of-day patterns, bolus response, post-meal highs)
  • Therapy reminders
  • Pattern heatmaps
  • PDF and CSV export for care visits
  • Full diary history

  Core tracking and Health sync work without a subscription.

• Can I use Glu Sight if I don't have a CGM?

  Yes.

  • You can enter glucose manually or read from Apple Health.
  • Glu Sight never talks to devices directly—it only reads from Health.
  • Any CGM, fingerstick meter, or insulin device that syncs to Apple Health (via its manufacturer's app) will show up in Glu Sight.
  • During setup you choose whether you read from Health or log manually.
• What units does Glu Sight support?

  Glu Sight supports mg/dL and mmol/L for blood glucose, and kg or lb for weight. Set your preference in Settings; the app uses it everywhere.

• Can I set glucose ranges recommended by my care team?

  Yes. In Settings → Treatment you can set your target, high, low, very high, and very low thresholds.

  These drive time-in-range, insights, and chart colors across the app—so you can use the values your doctor or diabetes educator recommends.

• What devices does Glu Sight support?

  • iPhone with iOS 17 or later
  • Requires Apple Health (iPhone-only)
  • No Android or web version
• Does Glu Sight work offline?
