Note: The MeterSync Blue is only available in the US.
The MeterSync Blue is a small, Bluetooth-enabled device that may be required in order to sync some compatible blood glucose (BG) meters that are not Bluetooth-enabled with the Glooko mobile app. You can have your MeterSync Blue up and running and be ready to start syncing your data with just a few steps!
(Not sure if your device is compatible or requires the MeterSync Blue? Check the Glooko Compatibility page.)
Before getting started, you will need:
- The Glooko mobile app (Android or iOS)
- The Glooko MeterSync Blue and the cable/adapter it came with (learn how to order hardware here)
- Your compatible BG meter
NOTE: The MeterSync Blue can also be ordered when you create your Glooko account.
Let's learn how to:
Pair your MeterSync Blue
The MeterSync Blue needs to be paired to your device in order to use it. This requires that it be paired any time you log out of your account, get a new MeterSync Blue device or delete the current pairing.
NOTE: If your MeterSync Blue has ever been paired with another mobile device, you will first need to unpair any previous connections before pairing with your current device. You will also need to turn your mobile device's Bluetooth on and ensure you are using the latest version of the Glooko mobile app (for best results, we suggest deleting or uninstalling your current app before reinstalling).
