Getting Glucose Data into Enhance-d (Tandem Users)
If you use a Tandem insulin pump, there are several ways to get your glucose data into Enhance-d. This article explains all supported options, depending on your CGM and setup.
Important: What Data Is Supported
Enhance-d currently supports glucose data only.
This means:
✅ Glucose readings are supported
❌ Insulin delivery, basals, boluses, and pump settings are not yet supported natively
Option 1 — Dexcom Direct Integration (Recommended)
Who this is for
Tandem users using Dexcom G6 or G7
Users who want the simplest and most reliable setup
How it works
Enhance-d connects directly to Dexcom, pulling glucose readings automatically from Dexcom’s cloud.
How to connect
Open the Enhance-d app
Go to Integrations
Select Dexcom
Log in with your Dexcom account
Authorise access
What you’ll see
Automatic glucose updates (typically every ~5 minutes)
No manual uploads required
Notes
This is the preferred option for Tandem users
Glucose data only (no pump insulin data)
Option 2 — Apple Health → Enhance-d (iPhone Only)
Who this is for
iPhone users
Tandem users already writing glucose data to Apple Health
Users who prefer a local (on-device) data path
How it works
Your CGM app writes glucose data to Apple Health, and Enhance-d reads glucose from Apple Health.
How to connect
Make sure your CGM app (e.g. Dexcom) is writing glucose data to Apple Health
Open Enhance-d → Integrations
Enable Apple Health
Allow access to glucose data
Notes
iOS only
Sync timing depends on Apple Health updates
Glucose data only
Option 3 - Nightscout (Advanced / DIY)
Nightscout is an open-source, user-hosted platform that allows CGM data to be uploaded and accessed via the cloud.
Nightscout documentation:
https://nightscout.github.io/
How Nightscout works with Enhance-d
Enhance-d can connect directly to a Nightscout site using:
A Nightscout URL (HTTPS)
An API secret
Once connected, Enhance-d pulls glucose data from Nightscout and displays it in your account.
Getting Tandem-Associated Glucose into Nightscout
Tandem does not currently provide an official public API for real-time glucose access. However, some users use community-supported tools to sync data into Nightscout.
These tools typically:
Read glucose data from a user’s Tandem Source (t:connect) account
Convert that data into a Nightscout-compatible format
Upload it to a Nightscout site
Common community tools include:
tconnectsync (community-maintained)
Dexcom to Nightscout uploader tools
These tools are not supported by Tandem or Enhance-d and require technical setup.
Nightscout Setup Overview
Step 1 - Create a Nightscout site
You will need:
A hosted Nightscout instance
A public HTTPS URL
An API secret
Nightscout can be hosted on:
Cloud platforms
Docker (local or server-based)
User-managed hosting environments
Official setup guide:
https://nightscout.github.io/
Step 2 - Feed glucose into Nightscout
Dexcom users can upload glucose via Nightscout uploader tools
Tandem users may use community sync tools that pull from Tandem Source
Step 3 - Connect Nightscout to Enhance-d
Open Enhance-d - Integrations
Select Nightscout
Enter your Nightscout URL and API secret
Save and confirm
If glucose is present in Nightscout, it will appear in Enhance-d shortly after.
Nightscout Pros and Cons
Advantages
Works across iOS, Android, and web
Highly flexible
Can combine multiple glucose sources
Limitations
Technical setup required
Community-supported only
Glucose data only
Quick Comparison
Method | Works with Tandem | CGM | Difficulty |
Dexcom Direct | Yes | Dexcom | Easy |
Apple Health | Yes (iOS only) | Dexcom | Easy |
Nightscout | Yes | Dexcom / mixed | Advanced |
What Is Not Supported
Direct glucose access from Tandem pump APIs
Libre glucose when Libre is paired directly to Tandem (unless via nightscout)
Insulin delivery, basal, or bolus data (unless via nightscout)
