Check the complete route from your sensor or pump to its source app, cloud account and Nightscout. A manufacturer name in a list does not mean every model, country or data type is supported.
Choose how data reaches Nightscout
Pro Connect imports from supported cloud accounts. Compatible phone uploaders can instead send data they already receive to your Nightscout site. Opening the website or saving a connection does not prove that new readings are arriving.
Start with the source routes below, then use account and site setup and keep the exact Nightscout URL generated for your site.
Dexcom Share
For an eligible Dexcom setup, Pro Connect imports glucose readings from a working Dexcom Share account. Check Share availability for your exact sensor and country; a sensor working in another app does not establish cloud compatibility. This route does not import pump treatment records or Nightscout profiles.
Connect Dexcom G7 or G6 through Dexcom Share. If your existing Android uploader already receives the readings you need, use the xDrip+ upload guide.
FreeStyle Libre and LibreLinkUp
The standard Pro Connect route for Libre 2, Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus uses a LibreLinkUp follower account that already shows the intended person's readings. Updates depend on the regional sensor, source app and cloud sharing; scanning-only sources remain dependent on scans. LibreView reports alone do not establish this live connection.
Check the LibreLinkUp setup and data limits. Confirm older Libre and third-party transmitter combinations separately before purchasing hardware.
Medtronic and CareLink
Use the Medtronic CareLink connection guide when the relevant CareLink account receives live data. Exact pump, sensor, phone app and country matter; CareLink reports alone do not prove the connector can retrieve current readings or every pump event.
MiniMed 780G combinations using Guardian, Simplera or Instinct follow the CareLink route appropriate to that system. Do not choose LibreLinkUp solely because Abbott makes the Instinct sensor. InPen report sharing does not establish live pen-dose import.
Other cloud sources
These are documented connection scopes. Use the current source guides in your Pro account to check the exact setup and any additional sources.
| Source | Data to check | Important limits |
|---|---|---|
| Tandem Source | Available glucose readings, pump event records, status and settings | Pump treatment records can reach Nightscout later than glucose readings. The pump’s IOB data may not always be available. The amount of insulin remaining in the reservoir is not included in the data. |
| Glooko | Available glucose readings and treatment records, including the documented Omnipod 5 route | Delivery can take up to an hour. Other connected devices need confirmation; profile import is not promised. |
| Twiist / Insiight | Glucose readings and available pump status data | Available status data is not a complete stream of treatment records. Optional Tidepool enrichment is a separate connection. |
| Tidepool | Available glucose readings, treatment records and pump settings | The required records must already reach the connected Tidepool account. |
| Eversense NOW | Glucose readings from a linked follower account | The wearer’s transmitter and cloud sync must be current. No import of treatment records or profiles. |
| mylife / CamAPS; Medtrum EasyView | Connections marked testing | Confirm your exact setup and available records with support. These are not guarantees for every device or data type. |
Phone uploaders and DIY loop systems
Loop, Trio, iAPS, AAPS, xDrip+ and xDrip4iOS can upload data already present in a correctly configured app. Follow that app's current sensor, phone and version requirements. Juggluco is an Android app, not an iPhone option.
Read the APS connection guidance before changing a loop setup. Choose one intended glucose uploader to avoid duplicate readings; a second cloud connection does not automatically add missing pump records.
Follower apps
Follower apps display the data already stored in Nightscout. Installing a follower app does not connect your sensor. Nightscout Follow is our iPhone public beta. Other follower apps have their own platform, country and access requirements.
Read what a follower does and how to share access securely. You can try the website demo with sample data before creating an account.
Watches and displays
Check the specific watch app or display, its receiving phone and its Nightscout connection. Features such as readings, trend arrows and alerts depend on the source and receiving app. Hardware is supplied separately and is not included in hosting.
Explore compatible apps and displays, with Apple Watch and Garmin guidance.
Check the whole setup
Android
Use the source app or uploader's current Android and phone requirements. Direct sensor connections, Bluetooth and older USB/OTG uploaders have different hardware needs. A general Android version number is not a compatibility guarantee.
iPhone
Check the installed source or follower app's current iPhone and iOS requirements. A cloud connection still needs the source phone to upload data. An Android-only uploader cannot be replaced by installing an iPhone follower.
Confirm compatibility before subscribing
For compatibility help, email [email protected]. Include your sensor and pump models, source app, country and the records you need. Then compare hosting plans. Do not send passwords or API secrets.
After setup, compare the value and timestamp of a new source reading with Nightscout, and check supported pump records separately. Cloud delivery and alerts can be delayed or interrupted; continue using your primary device and its alarms as instructed by its manufacturer.
