Twiist with Pro Connect

Native Insiight follower connection with bounded data coverage; optional Tidepool enrichment.

Connect Twiist with Pro Connect

Nightscout Pro has a native Twiist Insiight follower connection. You do not need an unofficial bridge for the documented native route.

Native connection

  1. Confirm the Insiight follower account is linked to the intended person and can see current Twiist data.
  2. In Pro, open Site Settings → PRO CONNECT, select Twiist and check Timezone.
  3. Enter that follower login in CONNECT_TWIIST_USERNAME and CONNECT_TWIIST_PASSWORD under Twiist Insiight Credentials. A Tidepool login is not interchangeable with this account.
  4. Select SAVE PRO CONNECT.
  5. Compare a new glucose value/time with Nightscout and inspect Pro Connect Logs if it stays stale. Typical glucose delay is 5–10 minutes.

The native route provides available glucose and device status, including source IOB/COB. Its generic events are notes; do not treat them as a complete bolus, basal or carbohydrate history. Native-only profile coverage is not established.

Optional Tidepool enrichment

If your Twiist data is also present in Tidepool, the same Twiist configuration can include CONNECT_TIDEPOOL_EMAIL and CONNECT_TIDEPOOL_PASSWORD. Check the correct Tidepool account first and use the configured lookback appropriate to the available history.

This combined route uses native Twiist for ongoing glucose and can add Tidepool treatments/status/settings that actually exist. Initial backfill can include historical Tidepool glucose; it is not a guarantee of complete history or safe replay after an error. Do not enable a second independent uploader to compensate for missing events.

Missing treatments or history

Identify whether the missing records exist in Insiight, Tidepool, or neither. Give support the source, affected date range and record type. Repeatedly saving or widening lookback is not a verified remedy for a stuck history job.

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.
