Will your setup work with sugardash?
Pick the CGM or pump you use below. We’ll tell you whether it works with sugardash and explain any requirements that matter.
The quick answer
Most people using one of these CGMs, pumps or apps can use sugardash. Choose your setup below to see what you’ll need.
Choose your setup
Pick the option that sounds most like your setup. If you use a pump, start with the pump section.
I use Dexcom Yes
Dexcom works with sugardash
If the sensor's readings appear in the Dexcom app on a phone with an internet connection, sugardash can display them.
This is true whether you use Dexcom for yourself or someone follows the readings in Dexcom Follow. When connecting sugardash, use the Dexcom account signed in to the app receiving the sensor readings—not a Dexcom Follow account.
I use FreeStyle Libre Usually—check your pump
Libre works with sugardash—usually through LibreLinkUp
If the current readings can be seen by a follower in LibreLinkUp, sugardash can display them. The LibreLinkUp follower account is the account used to connect sugardash.
A note for Medtronic users: The Instinct sensor for the MiniMed 780G is made by Abbott—the company behind FreeStyle Libre—but it is a separate sensor made for Medtronic. Its readings reach sugardash through CareLink, not LibreLinkUp.
I use Omnipod 5 Yes—with Dexcom or Libre
Compatible when readings reach the Dexcom app
sugardash works when the sensor's readings also appear in the Dexcom app on an internet-connected phone. Use the Dexcom account from that app when connecting sugardash, whether or not anyone uses Dexcom Follow.
Compatible when readings reach LibreLinkUp
sugardash works when the Omnipod account is linked to LibreView and a LibreLinkUp follower can see current readings. The follower account is used to connect sugardash.
I use a Tandem pump Yes—with Dexcom or Libre
Compatible when readings reach the Dexcom app
sugardash works when the sensor's readings also appear in the Dexcom app on an internet-connected phone. Use the Dexcom account from that app when connecting sugardash, whether or not anyone uses Dexcom Follow.
Compatible through Sugarmate
Tandem sends Libre readings to Tandem Source, and Sugarmate can bring them into sugardash. If current readings appear in Sugarmate, sugardash can display them.
I use a Medtronic pump Maybe—with CareLink
Your pump needs to share current readings through CareLink
sugardash is compatible when MiniMed Mobile is sending current readings to CareLink and a Care Partner account can see them. This includes the MiniMed 780G with the Instinct sensor made by Abbott.
An iPhone is required to connect CareLink to sugardash. The Care Partner account used for sugardash must also be reserved only for sugardash. If you already use a Care Partner account in the CareLink app or with another product, you will need another one.
I use Twiist Yes
Compatible through twiist insiight
sugardash connects to twiist through twiist insiight, so an insiight account that can see the current readings is required. The twiist user's phone also needs to keep syncing over Wi-Fi or cellular.
If you’re getting sugardash for yourself, you can use insiight to follow your own twiist account—another person does not need to be the follower.
sugardash may also show useful pump details such as active insulin, active carbs, pump battery, cassette amount, whether looping is active and recent bolus information.
I use another pump or CGM Maybe—with Sugarmate or Nightscout
Compatible when current readings are in Nightscout
Nightscout is a personal website used by many DIY and community-built diabetes setups. If it already shows current readings, sugardash can display them using the Nightscout web address and Secret API Token.
Compatible when current readings are in Sugarmate
Sugarmate is an app and website that gathers glucose readings in one place. If the intended user's current readings already appear there, sugardash can display them using the same Sugarmate account.
Ready to connect—or still unsure?
Once you know your setup works, the user guide walks through connecting it. If you are still unsure, tell us which pump and CGM you use and we’ll help you figure it out.
