SugarPixel+ does not officially support Dexcom Stelo. However, some users have successfully used the workaround below.
Important
  • These steps should be tested before ordering SugarPixel+
  • Setup relies on third-party and DIY apps
  • We may not be able to provide full support for issues related to this configuration
SugarPixel+ cannot connect to Stelo directly because Stelo has no real-time sharing capability. You must use an app that can read Stelo and upload data to one of the following:
  • Nightscout
  • Gluroo

Upload Data for SugarPixel+

Once readings appear in your app, upload them so SugarPixel+ can download the data.
  • If you already use Nightscout, upload directly and select Nightscout in SugarPixel+
  • If not, install Gluroo (free) and use Gluroo Global Connect as a Nightscout-compatible endpoint
  • In xDrip+ / xDrip4iOS / Zukka, configure Nightscout upload using: https://YourToken@YourUrl/api/v1
  • Enter the same URL and token in SugarPixel+
