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.

Reading a small screen is not an option for everyone. Ask My Glucose speaks your glucose out loud, so a reading is always just a question away.

Voice-first, by design

Instead of opening an app and reading numbers, you ask and listen. On any Echo: ‘Alexa, ask my glucose what is my level.’ On Apple devices, a Siri Shortcut gives the same spoken answer on an iPhone, Apple Watch, or HomePod.

Clear, spoken detail

Answers include the reading, the trend direction in words, and how recent the number is — spoken plainly, so you get the full picture without looking at anything.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with screen readers too?

The phone dashboard uses standard web text that works with screen readers, and the voice answers need no screen at all.

Is it a medical device?

No — it is an informational convenience. Keep your CGM’s own alarms on and confirm on your reader.
