Connect your sensor

Endobits reads your glucose two ways: from Apple Health (works with almost every sensor: your sensor's own app puts readings there) or by a direct connection in the Care tab (self-hosted DIY rigs and Dexcom today; Eversense is rolling out). Pick your sensor below.

On Android: Endobits reads the glucose your sensor app writes to Health Connect (Dexcom G6, Stelo and Lingo today; Dexcom G7 and Libre do not write to Health Connect yet), or connects Dexcom directly (US Dexcom accounts). Readings through Health Connect arrive about three hours behind the sensor. Details: Endobits Companion for Android.

Dexcom (G7, G6, ONE, ONE+, Stelo)

Direct connection (recommended, US accounts)

1. Open the Care tab in Endobits.

   

2. Scroll to Your data connection and tap Dexcom API.

   

   

3. Sign in with your Dexcom account, the same one you use in the Dexcom app, and approve the connection.
4. Dexcom API shows as connected in the same list.

Dexcom connections currently work with US Dexcom accounts only. Outside the US, use Apple Health below.

Via Apple Health (all regions)

1. Open the Dexcom app (or Stelo app) on your iPhone.
2. Tap Profile (on some versions this is Settings).
3. Tap Apple Health and turn sharing ON.
4. Done: readings usually appear in Apple Health within about 60 minutes, and Endobits picks them up from there.

Eversense (365, E3)

Via Apple Health (works today)

1. Open the Eversense app on your iPhone.
2. Turn on Apple Health sharing in the app's settings.
3. Done: readings flow into Apple Health, and Endobits picks them up from there.

Direct connection (coming soon)

Here's where it will live once it's on: Care tab → Your data connection → Eversense API, alongside Health Connect and Dexcom API.

Eversense API currently shows "Coming soon." That's expected, not an error. Tap it to get notified the day it goes live, or check back soon. Apple Health above works in the meantime.

FreeStyle Libre (Libre 3, Libre 2) & Lingo Coming soon

1. Open the Libre app (or the Lingo app) on your iPhone.
2. Open the Menu → Settings (on some versions it's called Connected Apps).
3. Tap Apple Health and allow glucose to be shared (written) to Health.
4. Done: new readings start flowing into Apple Health, and Endobits reads them from there.

DIY rig (real-time)

If you run your own DIY CGM rig (a self-hosted site that relays your sensor readings), this is the best connection: it's the only real-time path, and it unlocks live forecasting features that Apple Health's ~60-minute delay can't power.

1. In Endobits, go to Settings → Connections → DIY rig.
2. Enter your rig's URL (like https://yourname.example.com) and an access token with read permission.
3. Endobits verifies the connection and starts reading immediately.

No data after connecting? Three checks

1. Is Endobits allowed to read glucose?

iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Endobits → make sure Glucose (and anything else you want to share, like steps and sleep) is ON.

2. Is your sensor app writing to Apple Health at all?

Open the Apple Health app → Browse → Blood Glucose. If there are no readings there, your sensor's app isn't writing to Health yet: fix that in the sensor app first (steps above). Endobits can only read what Health has.

3. Give it time

Most sensors deliver to Apple Health with up to ~60 minutes of delay, and a brand-new sensor may need a few hours of warm-up before its first readings arrive. This delay is set by the sensor makers, not by Endobits. A DIY rig is the exception (real-time).

Endobits shows insights, not medical advice. Always follow your care team's guidance and your sensor's own alerts for treatment decisions.
