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.

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.

Not on its own — but yes, through Ask My Glucose. Here is the honest answer, including what it can and cannot do.

The short answer

Abbott does not publish an Alexa skill that reads your Libre out loud. Ask My Glucose adds that: connect your LibreLinkUp follower account once, and any Echo can answer ‘Alexa, ask my glucose what is my level’ with your FreeStyle Libre reading, trend, and freshness.

What works

With Ask My Glucose you can:

Hear your latest Libre reading and trend on any Echo
Get a spoken 24-hour summary (average, low, high, time in range)
See the same data on a phone dashboard
Let family follow named profiles on a family plan

The limits

It is informational only, not a medical device — always confirm on your reader. Readings are as current as LibreLinkUp provides (about a minute behind the sensor), and every answer tells you how old the number is.
