You do not need a CGM

Most people logging glucose here use a finger-prick meter. Everything works the same way — the Glucose card, the daily average, the history. If you use a CGM — a FreeStyle Libre 2+, an Ottai, or anything that can bridge — readings arrive automatically and you can still add finger-pricks alongside. They sit on the same axis, which is exactly what makes them worth comparing.

What to enter

The number, in mmol/L or mg/dL depending on your units. How it was measured — meter, sensor, lab. Where the sample came from — finger-prick, and so on. When, relative to eating — fasting, before a meal, after a meal, random.
The timing matters more than people expect. 7.8 mmol/L an hour after lunch and 7.8 first thing in the morning are very different facts, and without the label the app cannot tell them apart.

Where it goes

Unlike most markers, glucose does not go into your daily summary. It goes into the timeseries store — the same place a CGM writes. That is deliberate. It means a finger-prick and a sensor reading share an axis, which a single daily figure could never do.

Two readings in one minute

Fine. The app keeps them separate rather than collapsing them.

If a reading looks implausible

The app refuses values outside a sensible range and tells you why — most often because a mg/dL number was typed while the app was in mmol/L. The message names the likely cause rather than just refusing.

Ketones

If you also test ketones, those are their own marker.
