Hear your FreeStyle Libre glucose on Alexa

If you wear a FreeStyle Libre 2, 3, or 3 Plus, you can ask any Echo in the house for your current reading — spoken out loud, with the trend and how fresh it is.

How it works

Ask My Glucose reads the glucose you already share through Abbott’s LibreLinkUp follower app, then makes it available to Alexa. Nothing touches your sensor — we simply read the number LibreLinkUp already receives and speak it back when you ask.

Once it is connected, you just talk to any Echo: ‘Alexa, ask my glucose what is my level.’ You will hear the reading, which way it is trending, and how many minutes old it is.

What you can ask

Common phrases people use every day:

  • ‘Alexa, ask my glucose what is my level’ — your latest reading and trend
  • ‘Alexa, ask my glucose for my daily summary’ — 24-hour average, low, high, and time in range
  • ‘Alexa, ask my glucose which sensor am I using’ — confirms the active sensor
  • On an Alexa+ device, say ‘Alexa, open my glucose’ instead

Pair your Echo
On your dashboard, tap Pair an Echo for a 6-digit code, then say ‘Alexa, ask my glucose to pair with code 1 2 3 4 5 6.’

Frequently asked questions

Which FreeStyle Libre sensors work?

FreeStyle Libre 2, Libre 3, and Libre 3 Plus, as long as the reading is shared through a LibreLinkUp follower account.

Do I use my LibreLink login or my LibreLinkUp login?

Your LibreLinkUp (follower) login. Ask My Glucose signs in as a follower — the wearer’s main LibreLink app login will not work. Our setup guide walks through exactly which email goes where.

Is there a delay?

Readings are as current as LibreLinkUp provides — typically about a minute behind your sensor. Every answer tells you how old the reading is, and stale readings are flagged.

Is this a medical device?

No. Ask My Glucose is an informational convenience only. Always confirm on your reader and never use it for treatment decisions.
