Your numbers, your way
Pick a period, then build your report from the readings this device has collected.
The clinical bands your care team uses – the same yardstick for everyone.
Your own bands, measured against the same data. Each range is counted on its own – overlap is fine.
Your ranges are saved on this device, so they'll be here next time.
Every day in your report is folded into one 24-hour picture. The line is the middle reading at each hour of the day; the shaded bands show how spread out the readings were – the darker band is the middle half of readings, the lighter band the middle 80%. The dotted lines mark the target range, 70 to 180. Look for the hours where the line drifts above or below the dotted lines, and where the bands grow wide – a wide band means the readings bounced around a lot at that time of day, a narrow band means they held steady.
Report Card
These numbers come straight from your pulled data.
Add your Dexcom account on the Settings tab, then tap Refresh.
Following more than one person? Add them here – each one keeps their own Dexcom account and their own history.
Your username and password are kept on this device and used only to reach Dexcom – they are never sent anywhere else.
For a child, this is usually the child's own Dexcom account – not a follower account.
Nothing to enter. xDrip hands the readings over directly, so there is no password to keep and no waiting for history to build up – whatever xDrip already holds comes across on the first refresh.
In xDrip: the menu → Settings → Inter-app settings, then turn on xDrip Web Service. Nothing else needs changing.
To check it is working, open http://127.0.0.1:17580/sgv.json?count=2 in the
phone's browser. A little text with numbers and times means it is on.
One thing to know: if Android has put xDrip to sleep in the background, it stops answering until xDrip is opened again. If readings stop arriving, open xDrip once.
Tapping your glucose on the Now tab fills the whole screen with it – the number, the arrow and how long ago it arrived. Tap it again to come back.
Useful at a bedside. The screen stays awake while the big number is showing.
A white screen in a dark room is hard on the eyes. Turn this off for a light background.
Saved on this device – enter it once and it stays, even after you close the app.
Dexcom only hands out the last day, so this app keeps every reading it collects. Your reports are built from that, and they grow the more you use it.
This removes every reading kept on this device. Your reports would start over from whatever Dexcom hands out next. Your Dexcom login is not touched.
