Why a display

For the moments you can't reach for your phone.

Checking a number shouldn't mean unlocking a screen full of notifications. SugrBee keeps the reading in plain view, where a glance is enough.

All day

At 3 a.m.

Night Mode drops the screen to its lowest brightness, so you can read your number without lighting up the room.

For caregivers

Keep a child's or partner's readings on your nightstand from another room. Name each SugrBee so you know whose numbers you're seeing.

Wherever you are

At your desk, on the kitchen counter, or on the road. It sips power and runs from many USB battery packs.

Features

Simple on the outside. Thoughtful underneath.

2.8″ color touchscreen

Large numbers, a trend arrow, and the change since your last reading, readable from across the room.

No app required

Set it up from the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. Nothing to download or keep updated.

Your colors, your limits

Choose the colors for in-range, high and low readings, and have the number flash when you're out of range.

mg/dL or mmol/L

Tap the number to switch units. Tap the arrow for two graph views, or the time for a clock.

Night Mode

Dims to the lowest brightness for sleeping. Invert colors and rotate the display to suit your room and cable.

Down Detector

Checks Dexcom and Libre server status and tells you on screen when a service is having an outage.

Remembers 5 Wi-Fi networks

Home, work, grandma's house. Move it around and it reconnects on its own.

Updates over Wi-Fi

New features and fixes install from the settings menu. The Update button turns green when one is ready.

Setup

Four steps from box to bedside.

Everything happens in your phone's web browser. You'll need your home Wi-Fi password and your Dexcom, LibreLinkUp or Nightscout login.

  1. Plug it in

    Connect SugrBee to any USB power source. The setup screen appears on its own.

  2. Join its Wi-Fi

    On your phone or computer, connect to the network SugrBee Setup. No password needed.

  3. Enter your details

    Pick your home Wi-Fi, sign in to Dexcom, Libre or Nightscout, and choose your colors and alert thresholds.

  4. Save and glance

    Tap Save. SugrBee restarts and shows your glucose. That's it.

Dexcom users: turn on Dexcom Share in the Dexcom app first. SugrBee reads the same data your followers see.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still stuck? Message us through Etsy or post in the Facebook group.

Which CGMs work with SugrBee?

SugrBee works with Dexcom (through Dexcom Share), FreeStyle Libre (through LibreLinkUp) and Nightscout. If you can follow the readings in the Dexcom Follow or LibreLinkUp app, SugrBee can show them.

Does my phone need to be nearby?

No. SugrBee gets readings from the internet over Wi-Fi, the same way a follower app does. It can sit in a different room, or a different house, from the person wearing the sensor. That makes it handy for parents, partners and other caregivers.

What's the difference between SugrBee and SugrBee Plus?

They're the same display with the same features. SugrBee Plus adds a speaker that sounds an audible alarm when your reading drops below a low threshold you choose. High readings don't trigger a sound on either model, but both can change color and flash for highs and lows.

Is there an app or a subscription?

No app and no monthly fee. You set SugrBee up once from a web browser, and it runs on its own after that. Software updates are free and install from the settings menu.

How current are the readings?

SugrBee shows the latest reading available from Dexcom, Libre or Nightscout, along with how many minutes ago it arrived. If no new reading arrives for more than 6 minutes, the screen shows "No Data" so you're never looking at a stale number without knowing it.

Can I watch more than one person?

Each SugrBee follows one account. Many families keep one for each person, and you can give every device its own name so it's clear whose readings are on which screen.

Can it run on a battery?

Yes. SugrBee draws very little power and runs from many USB battery packs, which makes it easy to bring along on trips. At home, any USB wall adapter works.

What if Dexcom or Libre is having an outage?

Open Settings and tap Down Detector. SugrBee checks the Dexcom or Libre servers and tells you whether the problem is on their end. Your sensor and official app keep working during an outage.

I can't connect to "SugrBee Setup." What should I try?

The network can take 2 to 5 minutes to appear, so give it a moment and toggle your phone's Wi-Fi off and on. If the setup page doesn't open on its own, type the IP address shown on the SugrBee screen into your browser. On Android, turn off "Smart Wi-Fi Switch" during setup.

The manual has more troubleshooting tips.

My FreeStyle Libre readings aren't showing up.

Almost always, this is a LibreLinkUp issue. First, open LibreLinkUp and make sure it shows current readings. Then accept any updated terms in LibreLinkUp and the Libre app. Abbott pauses data until you do.

Our LibreLinkUp setup guide walks through every step and the most common fixes.

What's the return policy?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, whether you ordered here or on Etsy. The buyer covers return shipping. If something isn't working, message us first. We're happy to help troubleshoot.

See shipping, returns & privacy for how to start a return.

Is SugrBee a medical device?

No. SugrBee is a supplemental display and is not FDA-cleared or approved. Keep using your official CGM receiver or app, and never use SugrBee to make insulin dosing or treatment decisions.

Important safety information

SugrBee is not a medical device and has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. It is a supplemental display only and does not replace your official CGM receiver, app or alerts. Readings and alarms may be delayed, unavailable or inaccurate because of internet, Wi-Fi or third-party service issues. Do not use SugrBee for insulin dosing or treatment decisions, and do not rely on the SugrBee Plus alarm as your only low-glucose alert.
