CGM Dashboard

CGM Dashboard turns the glucose data your CGM already writes to Apple Health into a clear, easy-to-read dashboard. PDF report access is a one-time purchase — pay once, unlock it for life. No subscription, ever. FEATURES • Trend chart — touch anywhere on the graph to see your exact glucose value and the time it was recorded • AGP (Ambulatory Glucose Profile) report over 7, 14, 30, or 90 days • Key metrics with plain-English definitions: Time in Range, Mean Glucose, GMI (estimated A1c), and Glucose Variability (CV) • Full glucose history, combined with your PDF report in one place • Custom target range, with a choice of mg/dL or mmol/L units • Light, dark, or system-matched appearance • A simple daily habit tracker for personal goals like walks, meals, or medication reminders, with streaks • One-tap PDF export summarizing your data using standard clinical glucose ranges, for your own records • A heads-up if your data hasn't synced in a while, so you know to check your CGM app IMPORTANT CGM Dashboard reads data already synced to Health by your CGM manufacturer's own app — it does not connect directly to any sensor or transmitter, and it is not a real-time monitor. It is not a medical device and does not provide alerts or alarms. Continue using your CGM manufacturer's app for real-time monitoring, and always consult your healthcare provider before making treatment decisions. CGM Dashboard works alongside any CGM that syncs its data to Apple Health.
