ShuggaShugga

Live audible blood glucose voice announcer. Remind, manage, see & track the latest blood sugar from Apple Health using Loop or NIghtScout

ShuggaShugga audibly announces your latest blood glucose value using data sourced directly from the Health app on your iPhone.

Important: ShuggaShugga is primarily intended for people using Loop.app, Nightscout, or another system that writes live blood glucose values into Apple Health. For the best experience, your blood glucose data should be updated in Health in near real time.

ShuggaShugga is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Dexcom, Loop, Nightscout, or their respective organizations.

Without Loop.app, Nightscout, or another live glucose source, blood glucose values in Apple Health may be delayed by hours due to Apple Health processing and regression analysis. In those situations, ShuggaShugga may not be suitable, since it depends on fresh glucose data for timely spoken announcements.

For users who manually enter blood glucose into Health, ShuggaShugga can still read values aloud, though the experience is significantly better with automatically updated live data.

Now with multilingual blood glucose announcements!

ShuggaShugga can now speak your blood glucose in:

• English • Japanese • German • Italian • French • Spanish • Mandarin Chinese • Swedish • Norwegian

Managing blood glucose 24/7 can be exhausting. ShuggaShugga aims to provide a small moment of reassurance during a difficult day.

Introducing Kiyoshi Button — inspired by classic “easy buttons” and affirmations — tap to hear an encouraging chorus of “You got this.”

For caregivers and supporters: You can enjoy Kiyoshi Button and iMessage stickers without granting Health read permissions.

Because ShuggaShugga depends on Apple Health, it is exclusively available for iPhone.

MAIN FEATURES

1. Scheduled audible announcements of your current blood glucose value.
2. Optional warnings when glucose data is no longer fresh.
3. Optional double-tap gesture for an immediate glucose announcement.
4. Large blood glucose display for quick visibility during a variety of activities.
5. Kiyoshi Button — a small dose of encouragement when you need it.

IMPORTANT USAGE CONCEPTS

Foreground Mode When ShuggaShugga is open and active, you can customize how it works by tapping the gear icon. The app can announce your latest blood glucose value at your preferred interval (for example, every 30 seconds).

Background Mode ShuggaShugga can attempt to continue announcing blood glucose values while running in the background, as permitted by iOS.

Background announcements generally work best when the iPhone screen remains on and tend to be most predictable when the device is plugged into power or has a high battery charge. Because background execution is controlled by iOS, ShuggaShugga has limited control over how consistently announcements occur.

Performance may vary depending on device state, battery level, power mode, and system conditions.
