Frequently asked questions
Does Glucose Please connect directly to my Dexcom sensor?
No. Glucose Please retrieves data from Dexcom's servers, rather than from your device.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your Dexcom credentials are stored securely in your Mac's Keychain Access, and your glucose data never leaves your device.
Can I use Glucose Please readings to make treatment decisions?
No. Always follow Dexcom's guidance: confirm with your Dexcom app or a blood glucose meter before treating, and check your blood if you feel unwell or your symptoms don't match the reading.
Is Glucose Please meant to replace my Dexcom app?
No. Glucose Please is a supplemental way of seeing your sensor data, and is not meant to replace your Dexcom app.
Which Dexcom systems and regions does Glucose Please support, and what setup do I need on my phone?
Glucose Please works with Dexcom G6, G7, and ONE sensors. Just enable Dexcom Share in the mobile app and send yourself a Share invitation (you don’t need to accept it) before signing in on your Mac.
How often does the menu bar update with new glucose readings?
The menu bar updates in sync with your Dexcom readings (every 5 minutes), plus an extra 30 seconds to account for the delay between your device receiving a reading and it becoming available from Dexcom's servers.
Can I customise target ranges, units, or the graph window?
Yes. Open Settings from the menu bar to switch between mmol/L and mg/dL, pick your low and high glucose thresholds, and choose a 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, or 24-hour graph window. The menu bar graph automatically reflects those choices.
What happens if I lose connectivity or Dexcom stops sending data?
The app automatically retries, re-authenticates, and waits for the network to return. If Dexcom Share stays unreachable, it clearly labels the status and keeps polling until it can recover.
How much does Glucose Please cost?
Glucose Please is completely free.
