My CGM data viewer of choice
But the way in which data was displayed in the CGM apps of the manufacturers (first Dexcom and then Libre) did seem to me to make it a bit of a chore to delve into it in a frictionless way to understand more about my diabetes.
When I tried Sugar Sense I immediately felt comfortable with the data presentation.
At a glance I see what's happening right now with my numbers; and when I want it, it takes one Click to see a more in-depth data view, all on-screen without having to export or print, although those functions are available too.
Sugar Sense is now my first choice as a window to view my data and learn from it.
Sugar Sense can connect to Libre and Dexcom and certain other CGMs (but their own link apps are needed too).
It also lets you see your current glucose number at a glance by placing an optional display on the phone’s lock screen: tap the phone screen and there’s the number.
I can be out walking with my phone in my pocket and have Siri read out my number whenever I ask, direct to my in-ear hearing device. Or if my Watch was not such an old model I could display it on there through Sugar Sense’s own app.
It also connects to CarPlay and automatically displays my glucose number on that screen, so it is always available when I am driving.
Support from the developers is first class. I have had fast comprehensive and thoughtful email responses to my queries. Most impressively, when I reported what I thought was a false or anomalous nighttime low reading, Sugar Sense was quick to drill down into the data history around this reading and established that there was no bug of false reading and explain it all to me in an enlightening way.
A great app from a developer who is himself a T1 diabetic and understands the needs.
Family Plan = READ ONLY

Thank you! Great to hear Live Activities are working perfectly for you, keeping your glucose right on the Lock Screen is one of our favorite parts too. More is on the way soon. If you ever need anything, we are at support@sugarsense.io.
Best app
Response from developer
Thank you for the kind words! Clear and calm is exactly what we aim for: your readings, trends and history in one place, easy to check at a glance without feeling overwhelming. Sugar Sense works with Libre, Dexcom and Nightscout, and you can also log readings manually or bring them in from Apple Health, so the same clean view fits almost any routine. A big update is on its way with even more. If you ever need anything, we are at support@sugarsense.io.
It really helps
Response from developer
Thank you so much, Derek! Reviews like this mean a lot to our whole team. The predictive low warning and the Apple Watch app are the parts we have worked on the longest, so it is great to hear they make your daily routine easier. And family sharing exists because I live with type 1 myself and know the peace of mind it gives the people around us. If you ever have questions or ideas, we are always at support@sugarsense.io. Wishing you many steady days ahead! Irakli, Founder of Sugar Sense
