Use Nightscout Pro
Reviewed 26 September 2026

Use the Nightscout dashboard

Open the complete site URL from your Pro account. Authenticate or use your permitted viewing token if the site is private. This is the data dashboard, separate from hosting/billing settings.

Read the status first

Check the latest glucose value, units, trend and the age/time of that reading. A displayed number can be old. Compare it with the source app when troubleshooting.

The chart can also show treatments, basals and device status when your uploader supplies them and the relevant display is enabled. Missing pump information is not proof that glucose upload is broken. Review your route’s data limits.

Find common tools

Open the dashboard menu for Reports, Profile Editor and Admin Tools, subject to your permissions. Use reports guidance for date-range review, and sharing guidance for viewing access.

Careportal records describe events entered in Nightscout. Creating a record is not proof of a remote command to an APS phone or pump. Follow the dedicated command workflow for your app; do not issue treatments to test dashboard connectivity.

When something looks wrong

Compare source and Nightscout timestamps, identify the missing record type, and record any error. Data-sync troubleshooting explains how to locate the failed step without repeating setup.
