Libre 2 on iPhone: xDrip4iOS uploader

Connect an already working xDrip4iOS uploader to your Nightscout Pro site. Sensor model and region must also be supported by the app.

Upload xDrip4iOS to Nightscout Pro

This is for the current documented xDrip4iOS interface. It is not an Android xDrip+ or Shuggah menu guide. First confirm a supported sensor/follower source supplies current readings to xDrip4iOS.

Configure upload

  1. Copy the full HTTPS site URL and required upload credential from Pro Site Settings/Nightscout.
  2. Open Settings → Sharing and Services → Nightscout.
  3. Enter the complete URL and API Secret or a token with the required upload permissions. Do not use a read-only follower token for upload; leave the port at its normal default for Pro.
  4. Use Test Connection and confirm the site opens correctly.
  5. In Master mode, open Settings → Data Source and enable Upload to Nightscout. If using an upload schedule, ensure the current period is enabled.
  6. Compare a newly received reading’s time in the app and Nightscout.

Source and regional limits

Direct sensor support depends on xDrip4iOS’s exact model and regional list. Libre 1 transmitter setups and European Libre 2 direct connections are not universal Libre support. Follow supported systems before changing or buying hardware.

Avoid a loop

If xDrip4iOS follows this same Nightscout site, do not upload its downloaded readings back. A separate destination is a different workflow. A successful connection test proves access, not that a new reading reached the destination.

If upload fails, report xDrip4iOS version, source mode and last successful connection time with a redacted error. This guide does not ask you to change an active sensor session or therapy.

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.
