Connect Apple Health

On iPhone, SNAQ can read glucose from any CGM or meter app that saves readings to Apple Health.

If your CGM or meter app saves readings to Apple Health, SNAQ can read them on iPhone. That takes two permissions: one that lets your device’s app write to Apple Health, and one that lets SNAQ read from it.

Step 1: let your device’s app write to Apple Health

Most CGM and meter apps ask about this when you set them up, or have an Apple Health option in their settings. To check it in Apple’s Health app:

  1. Open the Health app.
  2. Tap your profile picture at the top right.
  3. Tap Apps, then your device’s app, for example Dexcom.
  4. Make sure Blood Glucose is turned on for the data it can write.
Three Health app screens: the profile picture on Summary, Apps under Privacy, and the list of apps
In the Health app: profile picture, then Apps, then your device's app

Step 2: let SNAQ read from Apple Health

  1. In SNAQ, open the More tab (the gear icon).
  2. Under Health Data, tap Glucose Data.
  3. Choose CGM or BGM, then Apple Health in the brand list.
  4. Tap Next, then Allow.
  5. When Apple Health asks, turn on Blood Glucose.

The "How do you measure your glucose?" screen with CGM and BGM options
Choose CGM or BGM
The "Connect your CGM" list with Dexcom, FreeStyle Libre, Lingo, Eversense, Glooko, Nightscout and Apple Health
Pick your device

Check or change SNAQ’s access

If you tapped Don’t Allow by mistake, open the Health app, tap your profile picture, then Apps, then SNAQ, and turn on Blood Glucose.

Save meals to Apple Health

After you save your first meal, SNAQ asks once whether it can add your meals to Apple Health. If you said no and want it on now, change it in the Health app under Apps, then SNAQ. There’s no switch for it inside SNAQ.

Insulin US only

US accounts can also import insulin doses from Apple Health under More, then Health Data, then Insulin Data. Insulin data in SNAQ is only for looking back at what happened. Don’t use it to make treatment decisions.

Steps last checked against the app in September 2026.
