Monitor more than one person
Keep a separate Nightscout site and clearly labeled follower configuration for each person. Do not combine different people’s glucose into one site.
Set up each person
- Open that person’s site and confirm the correct source and fresh timestamp.
- Create a dedicated readable token for the caregiver/device.
- Enter the site/token into a follower that explicitly supports your intended single- or multi-person workflow. If it supports only one source, use separate supported instances/devices or browser views rather than overwriting the current person without a plan.
- Label the view clearly and compare a known reading with the right person’s source.
- Repeat with a different token and label for the next person, then check all views again.
Review alerts and access
Agree who responds for each person. Distinguish notification sounds/names where the app supports them, and test each person’s alert configuration independently. A working first profile does not prove the second is connected.
If data appears under the wrong person, stop relying on that view and check the site URL, cloud patient selector and credentials before changing the uploader. Report the affected configurations without exposing tokens.
