Simple setup

Up and running
in under 30 minutes.

GlucoHome is designed so that anyone — technical or not — can go from zero to a fully private, clinical-grade glucose dashboard without needing to call their IT support.

01

Sign in with Google

GlucoHome uses secure Google sign-in to create your account. No passwords to manage — just one click to get started.

We use NextAuth.js with Google OAuth 2.0. Your account is scoped to your email address and never shared externally.

02

Connect your Dexcom

Link your Dexcom G6, G7, or compatible device through Dexcom's official API. GlucoHome handles the OAuth handshake — you just approve the connection.

We use the official Dexcom Developer API. Your Dexcom credentials are never stored by GlucoHome. The OAuth token is stored securely in your own database.

03

Deploy on your own server

Run GlucoHome on a home server, Raspberry Pi, NAS device, or a VPS. We support Docker and bare-metal Node.js deployments.

You need: Node.js 18+, a MySQL database (local or cloud), and a domain or local network address. The whole stack can run on a $35 Raspberry Pi 4.

04

See your glucose — really see it

Open your browser and get an AGP chart, Time-in-Range breakdown, HbA1c trend, and live reading — updated every 5 minutes, from anywhere.

Your data is fetched directly from Dexcom's API and stored in your database. GlucoHome renders it client-side — our servers never see your readings.

05

Learn from your data

Log events, ask the AI companion about your patterns, set smart alerts, and get plain-language education about what your glucose is telling you.

The AI companion uses your actual historical glucose data to give personalised, contextual insights — not generic diabetes tips.

Why it matters

The CGM gives you data. GlucoHome gives you understanding.

Living with diabetes means making dozens of micro-decisions every day — what to eat, when to exercise, how much insulin to take. Those decisions are better with better information.

The Dexcom app shows you a number and a direction arrow. GlucoHome shows you the full clinical picture: patterns, variability, trends over months, and the educational context that helps you actually internalise what your body is doing and why.

Full insulin dependency — every meal, activity, and stress response affects glucose. Requires constant vigilance.

Type 2 Diabetes

Insulin resistance — lifestyle, medication timing, and carbohydrate quality all drive glucose response.

Pre-Diabetes

Critical window for lifestyle intervention — CGM data is a powerful motivator and feedback tool.

Gestational Diabetes

Tight targets matter for both mother and baby — clear, real-time visibility is essential.
