Which glucose sensors work with Ask My Glucose?

The entire current FreeStyle Libre lineup (Libre 2, Libre 2 Plus, Libre 3, Libre 3 Plus) through LibreLinkUp sharing, and the Dexcom lineup (G6, G7, G7 15-Day, Dexcom ONE and ONE+) through Dexcom Share. If your sensor shares to the LibreLinkUp or Dexcom Follow apps, it works — no extra hardware.

How do I ask Alexa for my blood sugar?

After linking your account, say: 'Alexa, ask my glucose what is my level.' Any Echo in your home answers with your latest reading, the trend, and how fresh the reading is.

Does it work for parents and caregivers?

Yes — because it uses the same follower sharing as LibreLinkUp and Dexcom Follow, a parent or caregiver can link a loved one's sensor and ask any Alexa in the house for their number. That includes remote scenarios: a parent at home while their child is at school, or adult children following an aging parent in assisted living.

Can I check my glucose at night without waking anyone?

Yes. With Alexa's Whisper Mode, whisper your question in the dark and the Echo whispers your reading back — no phone screen lighting up the room, no waking your partner or children. Parents following a child's CGM can check overnight from their own bedroom.

Does Ask My Glucose work with Apple HomePod or Siri?

HomePod and Siri support is coming soon via Siri Shortcuts, using the same account on HomePod, iPhone, and Apple Watch. Alexa support ships first.

Can Alexa read my blood sugar out loud?

Q: Is Ask My Glucose a medical device?

No. Ask My Glucose is an informational convenience only, never a basis for treatment decisions. Always confirm on your reader or receiver. Readings may be delayed or unavailable.

Yes — if you use a continuous glucose monitor. With Ask My Glucose, any Echo can speak your latest reading whenever you ask.

What Alexa can and cannot do

Alexa cannot take a fingerstick or read a meter. But if you wear a CGM (FreeStyle Libre or Dexcom), Ask My Glucose lets Alexa speak the number your sensor is already sharing — hands-free, out loud, on any Echo.

Great for hands-full and eyes-busy moments

Cooking, driving, mid-workout, or half-asleep at 3 a.m. — instead of finding your phone and opening an app, you just ask. You can even ask quietly and let the Echo answer.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with a regular fingerstick meter?

No — it works with continuous glucose monitors (FreeStyle Libre or Dexcom) that share data to a follower account.

Can it warn me when I go low?

You can opt in to a low-glucose heads-up on your Echo. It is an informational reminder, not a medical alarm — keep your CGM’s own alarms on.
