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.

With a personal voice link and a one-time Siri Shortcut, your Apple Watch can speak your glucose on command — no phone needed.

How it works

Ask My Glucose gives you a private voice link. You wrap it in a tiny Siri Shortcut once, and from then on ‘Hey Siri, my glucose’ speaks your latest reading on your Watch, iPhone, or HomePod.

Set up the Siri Shortcut

Copy your voice link

On your Ask My Glucose dashboard, create and copy your personal voice link.

Build a Shortcut

In the Shortcuts app: add ‘Get Contents of URL’ and paste the link, then ‘Get Dictionary Value’ for the key speech, then ‘Speak Text.’

Name it

Call the Shortcut ‘My Glucose.’

Ask your Watch

Say ‘Hey Siri, my glucose’ — it works on Apple Watch and HomePod automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my phone nearby?

The Shortcut runs on the Watch itself over its own connection; your reading is fetched from your account, not your phone.

Can each family member set this up?

Yes — on a family plan each person gets their own voice link so their Watch speaks their own readings.

Is there a true one-tap install?

Yes — someone with an iPhone can share the finished Shortcut as an iCloud link that installs with a single tap.
