ShuggaShugga is an app designed to audibly update you with your latest blood glucose data, sourced directly from Health on your iPhone. While its primarily intended to complement Loop.app and other similar apps, its also useful for users who have live blood glucose values written to Health by other means, and to a lesser extent, those who manually input their blood glucose values into the Health app.
It now includes a Kiyoshi Button and Kiyoshi iMessage stickers.
(For those of you who are caregivers and supporters of people who manage blood glucose, you can just use Kiyoshi Button and iMessage stickers w/o giving the "read permission" from Health.)
Managing ones blood sugar 24/7 is challenging. This new button offers a moment of relief during a tough day.
Similar to the “Easy Buttons” and Stuart Smallys “Daily Affirmations,” this button plays a chorus of “You got this” when tapped.
Please be aware: If you use a continuous glucose monitor and dont have additional methods for live updates in Health, the data in Health might be hours old due to regression analysis. In such cases, ShuggaShugga may not be suitable since it depends on the freshest data from Health.
Due to its dependence on Apple Health, ShuggaShugga is exclusively compatible with iPhones.
