Question 1

Which glucose sensors work with Ask My Glucose?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

How do I ask Alexa for my blood sugar?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is Ask My Glucose a medical device?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Does it work for parents and caregivers?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Can I check my glucose at night without waking anyone?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

Does Ask My Glucose work with Apple HomePod or Siri?

Accepted Answer

HomePod and Siri support is coming soon via Siri Shortcuts, using the same account on HomePod, iPhone, and Apple Watch. Alexa support ships first.
