Use a working Dexcom Share account to bring supported Dexcom glucose readings into your hosted Nightscout site. This route works with the manufacturer app on Android or iPhone when Share is available for your model and country.

Check Dexcom Share before connecting

Start with current readings in the manufacturer app and a working Dexcom Share account. Share availability depends on the sensor model and country. G5, G6 and G7 Share routes are documented; do not assume ONE, ONE+ or Stelo has the same Share service in every region.

If Share is unavailable for your exact setup, ask Pro support to confirm a connection route before changing your working sensor app.

Set up Dexcom Share in Pro Connect

  1. Sign in to your Pro account and open Site Settings, then PRO CONNECT.
  2. Set the source to Dexcom Share and check the timezone. The connector uses it for regional routing.
  3. Enter the actual Dexcom cloud login in CONNECT_SHARE_ACCOUNT_NAME and its password in CONNECT_SHARE_PASSWORD. The account name can differ from an email address shown elsewhere.
  4. Select SAVE PRO CONNECT.
  5. Compare a new source reading and timestamp with Nightscout. Typical cloud delay is 5 to 10 minutes.

These are the current Pro Connect steps. They replace the older bridge-plugin instructions on this page; an existing working connection does not need to be reconfigured merely because this guide changed.

Already using xDrip+, Loop, Trio or AAPS?

Keep the uploader that supplies your intended data. For Android xDrip+ with readings already arriving, use the Nightscout upload guide and Base URL formatter. For a working Loop, Trio or AAPS setup, start with the APS connection guide and the current Pro account guides.

Use one intended glucose uploader. Adding Share alongside another glucose source can create duplicate records and does not supply missing pump treatments.

If readings are missing or delayed

First check that the Dexcom app and Share account are current. If the source is fresh but Nightscout is stale, inspect Pro Connect Logs for account, authentication or regional errors. Confirm the account name, password and timezone before retrying.

Keep credentials out of support messages and screenshots. A connection can be interrupted by the source service or internet access even while the Nightscout dashboard still opens.

Which records does Share provide?

The Dexcom Share connector imports glucose. It does not establish pump-treatment, carbohydrate or Nightscout profile coverage. Follow your primary device’s monitoring and alarm instructions and check the timestamp before relying on a display.

Find your Nightscout URL, compare managed hosting plans, or read the community Dexcom uploader documentation.
