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.

How to get your CGM glucose on Alexa

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.

Alexa cannot read a CGM on its own — but with a small bridge, any Echo can speak your latest glucose. Here is what you need and how it fits together.

The three pieces

To hear your continuous glucose monitor on Alexa you need:

A sensor that shares data — FreeStyle Libre (via LibreLinkUp) or Dexcom (via Share/Follow)
A bridge that reads that shared data and answers Alexa — that is Ask My Glucose
An Echo (or the Alexa app) on your account

Why a bridge is needed

Neither Abbott nor Dexcom offers a native Alexa skill that speaks your number on demand. Ask My Glucose fills that gap: it signs in to your follower account, keeps the latest reading ready, and answers the moment you ask — so you never open an app or hold a phone.

Set up in minutes

Make sure your sensor is sharing to a follower account, sign up and link that account at askmyglucose.com, pair an Echo with a 6-digit code, and you are done. From then on it is just ‘Alexa, ask my glucose what is my level.’

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with any Echo?

Yes — any Echo signed in to your Amazon account, and the Alexa app on your phone. On newer Alexa+ devices, launch with ‘Alexa, open my glucose.’

What does it cost?

A 14-day free trial, then $4.99/month for one person or $9.99/month for a family.

Do I need a paid CGM plan?

You just need your existing sensor’s sharing turned on (LibreLinkUp or Dexcom Share) — both are free from the sensor makers.
