Libre 1 on iPhone: Shuggah uploader

Connect an already working Shuggah uploader to your Nightscout Pro site. Sensor model and region must also be supported by the app.

Shuggah and Nightscout upload

Nightscout Pro supports the Nightscout-side connection from a working Shuggah uploader. Shuggah and xDrip4iOS are different app distributions. A current maintained primary Shuggah setup specification was not verified for this guide, so we cannot promise the exact menus or sensor support of every Shuggah release.

If Shuggah already has readings

Open its Nightscout connection settings and check the installed version’s in-app help. A Nightscout uploader needs your complete Pro site URL and a credential permitted to upload; a read-only token cannot write readings. Do not use your Pro account password, and do not copy Android xDrip’s combined Base URL into separate URL/password fields.

If the app offers a connection test, check it, then compare a genuinely new reading in Nightscout. A test result alone does not prove upload. Do not send readings back to the same Nightscout site that Shuggah is following.

If the menus or support are unclear

Send support the Shuggah version, phone OS, sensor/country and a screenshot of the connection screen with credentials hidden. Reuse information already sent. Support can verify the Nightscout-side access and identify whether that version’s uploader is supported; this page does not establish a new sensor pairing route.

Documented alternatives

For an already working xDrip4iOS installation, use the current xDrip4iOS upload guide. For viewing existing Nightscout data on iPhone, use LoopFollow. For supported Libre cloud data, use Pro Connect LibreLinkUp.

Do not switch an active CGM/APS setup simply to match a guide. In particular, Trio’s CGM documentation does not treat Shuggah as an interchangeable locally built xDrip4iOS source.

Check your setup

Check whether your site has a current glucose reading, then confirm the rest of your guide separately.

Sign in to your Pro account to check your own site. This check does not change your connection.

We record the reading check and your confirmation separately. The report does not save glucose values, your site name or your account details.
