What you get
Keep your glucose reading in view while you work on your Mac.
You can check your latest glucose reading and trend direction without leaving the app you’re using. Sugar Sense keeps them in your Mac’s menu bar, with colors based on your chosen range. You can also see your reading in Safari, on your desktop, or in Notification Center.
When you want context, you can open a graph covering 3, 6, 12, or 24 hours and review your lowest, highest, and in-range readings. You’ll also see how much your glucose changed since the previous reading. Older readings turn grey after 15 minutes, so you can tell when the data is no longer fresh. Through Care Circle, you can follow a family member instead of yourself.
You’ll need internet access and a glucose source connected through the Sugar Sense iPhone app. The Mac app is view-only and sends no alerts. It isn’t a medical device; use your CGM’s own app or a blood glucose meter for treatment decisions.
