xDrip » Features » xDrip and Nightscout
Nightscout can serve as a repository for all your xDrip readings. This is crucial for creating comprehensive reports for your endocrinologist and for tracking how your glucose control changes over time. Without a repository, your readings are only stored on your phone, posing a risk if you lose or damage your device.
Additionally, Nightscout can be used as a server for sharing data with your followers.
Setting up Nightscout requires some effort and is not something you can complete in just 5 minutes. There are various setup options available, so you’ll need to find and follow the instructions specific to the server you choose.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to a service provider to handle the setup for you.
If you already have Nightscout set up, instructions for configuring xDrip as an uploader (master) can be found here. How to use xDrip to follow an existing Nightscout site is explained here.
