Glooko's blood glucose testing smart reminders feature triggers a reminder for individuals to measure their blood glucose value when they return to their home base. The Smart Reminders tool will use your phone's location data to understand your routine and remind you to test your blood glucose at the right time.
How does it work?
- To use the smart reminders feature, Glooko requires Location and Notifications access on your mobile phone
- Once enabled, the Glooko app will infer a home base based on your location data
- The Glooko app will send a reminder notification to test your blood glucose when you arrive home, if you have not tested in a while
- You will receive this reminder notification from Glooko once you return home from a different location and have been Home for at least 15 minutes.
- Reminders will only be sent if you have no recorded blood glucose readings from the past 4 hours synced to Glooko
- By default, you will only receive a reminder once every 2 days. This can be adjusted to daily, or weekly reminders.
- You will also be given an option to provide feedback
Who is Eligible?
- Users in the United States who have synced a blood glucose meter to their Glooko account
- No other diabetes devices (CGMs, Insulin Pumps, or Insulin Pens) are eligible
How to Sign Up
- If you are an eligible user, you will receive a prompt to complete an onboarding when syncing a blood glucose meter on the mobile app (version 6.6 or later)
- During this onboarding, you will be prompted for consent and given a brief tutorial on the feature functionality
- You will also be prompted to permit access to their location and to enable notifications from Glooko. In order for Smart Reminders to work as intended, both will need to be enabled.
How to Opt-in or Opt-out

- Select the Account icon in the top right of your mobile app
- Select Communications
- Toggle Smart Reminders on or off
- When toggled on, select Frequency to change how often you receive the notifications (Daily, Every other day, or Weekly)
