What Nightscout Pro does

Nightscout Pro hosts and maintains your Nightscout site. Nightscout stores uploaded glucose and, where the source provides them, treatments, profiles and device information. You can view the data in a browser or connect compatible follower apps.

What you manage

Choose a supported source, connect the correct account or uploader, and control who may view or change your data. Your Nightscout Pro account password, Nightscout API Secret and manufacturer account credentials have different jobs; they are not interchangeable.

What hosting does not establish

An online site can still have no readings. A glucose connection does not automatically include pump treatments, profiles, remote control or complete historical backfill. The compatibility guide explains these distinctions.

Nightscout’s role and limits

Nightscout is an open-source community project. Nightscout Pro provides managed hosting and technical support and contributes to its development and maintenance; we do not own the overall Nightscout codebase.

Nightscout Pro is not a medical device or a replacement for clinical care. Use your primary glucose-monitoring device and its alarms according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and continue to follow your healthcare team’s monitoring and treatment advice. Do not rely on Nightscout as your only way to monitor glucose or receive warnings.

Data and alerts depend on the source, internet connection, third-party services and the receiving app or browser. They can be delayed or interrupted. See alert delivery and browser limitations.
