# Dexcom Stelo

> Unofficial — requires a third-party bridge app to Nightscout or Gluroo

SugarPixel+ does **not officially support Dexcom Stelo**. However, some users have successfully used the workaround below.

<Warning>
  **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
</Warning>

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**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Read Stelo Using a Compatible App">
    <Check>
      **iPhone**

      You must use **Stelo + a third-party reader app**.

      **Required Apps:**

      * Stelo (App Store)
      * **Zukka** (App Store) *or* **xDrip4iOS** (DIY)

      **Basic flow:**

      1. Start the sensor in the **Stelo app**
      2. Open **Zukka / xDrip4iOS**
      3. Go to **Bluetooth** → select **CGM** → choose **Stelo**
      4. Scan for the sensor and pair
      5. Readings should appear **15–20 minutes after warmup**
      6. Both apps must continue running in the background
    </Check>

    <Check>
      **Android**

      You must use **xDrip+** (DIY). The Stelo app alone is not supported.

      **Basic flow:**

      1. Install **xDrip+** from: [https://jamorham.github.io/#xdrip-plus](https://jamorham.github.io/#xdrip-plus)
      2. Allow all permissions and unrestricted battery usage
      3. Use **Auto Configure** to scan the QR code from: [https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Dexcom/G7.html](https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Dexcom/G7.html)
      4. Insert the Stelo sensor and select **Dexcom G6/G7/1/1+** hardware option
      5. Enter the **4-digit transmitter ID**
      6. Open **System Status** and wait for pairing and warmup
    </Check>
  </Step>

  <Step title="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+
