Challenges of the App
ShuggaShugga works around several limitations imposed by iOS and Apple’s APIs. Because of this, issues may occur, including:
① Your CGM may have communication problems.
② This app may not be able to receive blood glucose directly from the CGM.
③Loop.app or similar apps may temporarily be unable to communicate with your CGM.
④ShuggaShugga may be unable to read data from Apple Health, such as when your phone is locked.
⑤ Network or server issues may interrupt data access.
⑥ iOS may not wake ShuggaShugga frequently enough.\n\nI’ve made every effort to make ShuggaShugga a useful and reliable experience, but I cannot guarantee that it will always work as expected. ShuggaShugga should not be relied on as your only source of glucose or health information.
You are responsible for your own medical decisions and safety. ShuggaShugga and its developer are not responsible for any damages, injuries, or other consequences that may result from using the app.
If you set the app to receive your Dexcom G7 in the app’s settings, you could lock the phone and it will still shugga.
If you live in NorCal?
I can set help you up with Loop.app and Nightscout.
