Features & Capabilities

Glimp is a comprehensive app designed for diabetes management compatible with Abbott Freestyle Libre, Libre Pro, MiaoMiao, Bubble Mini, and BluCon sensors. It allows smartphone users to read glucose levels directly from sensors without the Abbott reader, memorize blood glucose, insulin units, carbohydrates intake, and sport activities.

The app supports remote glucose monitoring via Dropbox and Nightscout, and enhanced compatibility with Wear OS devices through Bluetooth connection, watchfaces, and complications. Glimp enables continuous monitoring by keeping your smartphone near the sensor and provides vibration alerts indicating reading status. Note that it does not support Libre 2, USA 14-day Libre sensors, or reading on Wear OS, and is not endorsed by Abbott. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions. Feedback is encouraged to improve the app experience.

User Reviews

Glimp is a widely appreciated app for monitoring glucose levels via Freestyle Libre sensors, praised for offline capability, calibration options, and cloud synchronization. However, multiple users report its inability to support 14-day US sensors, occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues, less user-friendly graph visuals, slower scanning in recent versions, and accuracy discrepancies compared to official devices. Despite these drawbacks, users value Glimp's contribution to diabetes management, especially where the official app is unavailable or insufficient.

Pros

Allows reading and monitoring of glucose levels using Freestyle Libre sensors, including data scanning and storage.
Supports calibration with finger stick blood glucose measurements for increased accuracy.
Works offline without dependence on internet or external servers.
Offers customizable notifications and reminders to scan the sensor regularly.
Data can be exported or synchronized with cloud services like Dropbox and external platforms like Nightscout.

Cons

Does not support or work well with the newer 14-day sensors sold in the US, limiting usage for many users.
User interface and graph visualization are not very intuitive or modern, with crowded graphs and lack of customization.
Sometimes loses Bluetooth connection, requiring manual reconnection to devices like MiaoMiao.
Scanning speed and response have slowed down in newer app versions.
Inaccuracies or discrepancies exist between Glimp readings and official reader devices, especially at higher glucose levels.

Was very difficult at first to get started. After in depth trying to launch the app in conjunction with my sony experia android phone finally got running in conjunction with Freestyle Libre 2 monitoring. Now works an absolute trick. I can now use the app to scan with my phone by touching the sensor on my arm with my phone, data is collected and stored in a filling system on how my daily Glucose levels are doing. I get reminders through my phone to scan at regular bases . Glimp gets my ful vote

A very good app. Really useful. Thanks for such nice work. Just a request that if you make the time in chart more spread out, those glucose lines won't look so steep then. I mean the space you have for 5 hours, make that for 2 hours or maybe even 1 hour. That will really update the end result. Or maybe add an option in settings to change that. Once again thanks alot for this nice app. It's a life saving work. Kudos
