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.

Remote glucose monitoring for elderly parents

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.

For an older adult, a voice question is far easier than an app. Ask My Glucose lets a parent simply ask their Echo — and lets you keep an eye on things from anywhere.

Easy for them

No app to learn, no screen to squint at. Your parent just says ‘Alexa, ask my glucose what is my level’ and hears the answer. For many families that is the difference between a tool that gets used and one that does not.

Reassuring for you

On a family plan you can follow a parent’s readings on your own phone dashboard, and each person gets named profiles — so you can even ask your own Echo ‘how is Mom.’

Hear your glucose out loud today

Works with FreeStyle Libre 2/3/3+ and Dexcom G6/G7. 14-day free trial, then $4.99/mo (family $9.99/mo).

Frequently asked questions

Can my parent and I both use it?

Yes — the family plan covers multiple people, each with their own sensor link and spoken name.

Do they need a smartphone?

They need a sensor sharing to a follower account, which is set up once; day to day they only need to talk to an Echo.
