Expand the section below for the message you see on your SugarPixel.

Accept Libre Terms

Abbott occasionally updates their user license agreement/terms and conditions which are required to be agreed to for SugarPixel data synchronization to function. However, the Linkup app does not always properly display these new terms to users.

If your SugarPixel is synced with Libre Linkup and displays the message to Accept Libre Terms, follow these steps below.

  1. Connect to your SugarPixel in the app and write down the Linkup username on the CGM Connections screen.

    1. This is the Linkup account being used by the SugarPixel and what must be used for logging into the Linkup app to accept the new terms. If this is not your primary Linkup account being used on your phone, you can always login again with that account on your phone app when you are finished accepting the new license agreement.

  2. Logout of the Linkup app and login again to accept the new terms and conditions. You must use the login that you wrote down in step 1. If you receive a login error, you have an incorrect password and may need to reset your LInkup password via the app.

    1. If you have the Linkup app installed on multiple devices, you may need to logout on all devices to receive the new terms and conditions.

    2. If you do not receive the new terms and conditions to agree to when logging in to the Linkup app again, please try deleting and reinstalling the Linkup app.

  3. If you have SugarPixel displaying multiple CGMs and both are synced with Linkup accounts, repeat the above steps for both acccounts.

  4. Reboot your SugarPixel by unplugging it and plugging it back in after you have accepted the new terms.

Add CGM

This message means you have not fully configured your CGM Connection. You could be missing the entire settings or just a username or password. Please repeat the CGM Connection setup steps.

Add WiFi

If SugarPixel displays “Add WiFi”, it means you have not entered a WiFi name, password, or both.

First Time SugarPixel Setup

If this is your first time setting up SugarPixel, start with Setup My SugarPixel and follow all user manual setup screens.

Previously Running SugarPixel

If your SugarPixel was previously working, you have removed the WiFi details from its configuration or have done a factory reset. Repeat the WiFi setup instructions.

CGM Login Error

This message means the SugarPixel was unable to login to the CGM server. As a first step, open the Firmware Update menu of the app and install the update if one is available.

Dexcom

  1. Confirm you have toggled the USA Server switch correctly. If you attempt to login to the wrong server, you will receive a login error.

  2. Repeat the Dexcom Setup instructions. Do not proceed to setup SugarPixel unless you have successfully logged into the Dexcom website

Libre

  1. Repeat the Linkup login step of the Libre Setup instructions. Do not proceed to setup SugarPixel unless you have successfully logged in again to the Linkup app.

Check Wifi

If SugarPixel displays “Check WiFi”, it means there is an issue connecting to your WiFi.

First Time SugarPixel Setup

If this is your first time setting up SugarPixel, please follow the WiFi Home Advanced/Troubleshooting steps if you are connecting to a home wifi. If you are connecting to work, school, university, or other wifi, please read the relevant instructions on the WiFi and Bluetooth setup page.

Previously Running SugarPixel

If your SugarPixel was previously working, please follow the steps on this WiFi troubleshooting page. If this does not solve the issue, your WiFi router may have had its own firmware update. Please follow the Guest Network setup instructions in the the WiFi Home Advanced/Troubleshooting steps.

Downld

The animated DOWNLD display indicates that SugarPixel is currently downloading the first CGM data after connecting.

No Data

First Time SugarPixel Setup

You have most likely missed a setup step. Please repeat the full setup instructions for your CGM. The instructions also have a troubleshooting guide at the bottom.

Previously Working SugarPixel

  • If SugarPixel was previously working but is unable to download new readings from the CGM servers, it will display the Hour Glass icon and/or No Data screen.

  • If you are following multiple users, only the hour glass will display in the space for either user 1 or user 2.

  • The most likely cause is that you have no data from your CGM in the phone app. Please check that you have current readings shown in the Dexcom Follow app, Libre Linkup app, Nightscout website, or Gluroo app. If those do not display readings, SugarPixel will not be able to display readings. Resolve the source of the lost data using the CGM manufacturer’s instructions.

  • SugarPixel uses an intelligent download timer when is not able to download new readings. Once your CGM and Follower app have readings again, SugarPixel may take up to 15 minutes to display your readings again.

  • If you have readings and it has been sufficient time for SugarPixel to synchronize again, something could have gotten changed by removing followers, changing phones, switching from one CGM to another (such as G6 to G7), etc. Please redo the CGM setup instructions.

Run Hardware Test

If SugarPixel displays “Run Hardware Test” when powering on, you must perform a hardware self-test by long pressing the snooze button. You can release the button when SugarPixel displays “Testing” on the screen.

This test will:

  1. Cycle the LED for all colors

  2. Confirm the sd card slot is functioning

  3. Test the speaker with a short audio alert

  4. Test the vibration puck with a short vibration

SugarPixel will reboot at the end of the test ready to begin setup when the screen displays “Add WiFi”. You may manually run the hardware test at again at anytime by holding the snooze button while plugging in power.

Update

When SugarPixel is performing a software update, the display will show “UPDATE”. This process should only take a few minutes.

If it displays UPDATE for more than 10 minutes, please restart your SugarPixel and try again if the main menu does not list the new firmware version.

When the update is completed, the screen will display a Success or Fail status and the proceed to reboot automatically. If the Update fails, please try again.

WiFi (Blue/White Animation)

The white and blue animated WiFi display indicates that SugarPixel is in the process of connecting to your WiFi network.

WiFi (Green)

If SugarPixel displays “>- WiFi -<” in green, it means that is has connected to WiFi successfully but is not able to proceed with the connection to the internet.

First Time SugarPixel Setup

This is can be caused by a few different factors. Occasionally, the connection takes longer than expected. As a first step, reboot your SugarPixel by unplugging it and plugging it back in to see if this resolves the issue.

If that does not resolve the issue, please make sure you are following the setup steps for your specific WiFi type (home, school, university, etc).

Previously Running SugarPixel

If your SugarPixel was previously working, please follow the steps on the WiFi troubleshooting page. This could indicate that there was just a temporary WiFi issue that a reboot will solve.
