Dexcom G7 on your Windows PC — a live glucose widget for your desktop
Your blood glucose, always in sight — without unlocking your phone every ten minutes.
Glucose Widget is a tiny Dexcom G7 desktop app for Windows 10 and 11 — an always-on-top widget that shows your live CGM reading and trend arrow right on your PC screen. Readable at a glance, colour-coded, with optional pulsing alerts when you drift out of range.

A Dexcom desktop app built for people who live with the numbers
Dexcom doesn’t make a live glucose app for Windows — only the Clarity report uploader. Glucose Widget fills that gap: it’s a proper Windows desktop app that puts your real-time Dexcom G7 number on your PC, where you actually spend your day.
If you’re a Type 1 diabetic who spends long hours at a computer, a parent remotely monitoring a child on Dexcom G7, or anyone who’s tired of picking up their phone every ten minutes just to check a number — this widget was built for you.

Before you start — Dexcom sharing setup
Sign in to Glucose Widget with the primary Dexcom account — the one the sensor is set up under (the phone running the Dexcom G7 app). Do not use a follower account — follower logins can’t pull readings, so the widget won’t show anything.
Glucose Widget reads your levels through Dexcom’s official Share service, which only releases data when that primary account has Share turned on with at least one follower added. With no follower, no app (including this one) can see your data.
Following your own glucose? Enter your own primary Dexcom login, and add any follower in the Dexcom app (e.g. a family member) to switch sharing on.
A parent following your child? Enter your child’s Dexcom login (their primary account), not your own follower account.

Dexcom Windows app — frequently asked questions
Is there a Dexcom app for Windows?
Dexcom doesn’t make a live glucose app for Windows — only the Clarity report uploader. Glucose Widget is an independent Windows desktop app that shows your live Dexcom G7 reading and trend arrow in an always-on-top widget on your PC. Install it free from the Microsoft Store and sign in with your Dexcom account.
How do I see my Dexcom on my computer?
Install Glucose Widget free from the Microsoft Store, sign in with your Dexcom account, and your live Dexcom G7 reading appears in an always-on-top widget on your Windows desktop. There’s no official Dexcom desktop app for live readings, so this is the simplest way to see your glucose on a PC.
Which Dexcom account do I use — and do I need Dexcom Share on?
Sign in with your primary Dexcom account — the one the sensor is set up under (the phone running the Dexcom G7 app). Don’t use a follower account; follower logins can’t pull readings. Dexcom’s Share service only releases data when that account has Share turned on with at least one follower added. Following your own glucose? Add any follower in the Dexcom app (e.g. a family member) to switch sharing on. A parent following your child? Enter your child’s Dexcom login.
Do I need a Dexcom G7?
Yes — Glucose Widget requires an active Dexcom G7 CGM and your Dexcom credentials. Sign in with the same account you use in the Dexcom app.
Does the Dexcom Windows widget work in Australia?
Yes. The widget supports both Dexcom’s US and International Share endpoints, and auto-selects the correct one based on your region. Australian users connect via the International endpoint.
Is my glucose data stored anywhere?
No. Readings flow directly from Dexcom’s servers to your PC — we don’t touch them. Your Dexcom credentials are encrypted with Windows DPAPI and stored locally on your machine, not on our servers.
Will it use lots of battery / CPU?
No. It’s a tiny WPF app that idles almost entirely, waking only to fetch a reading every few minutes. You won’t notice it on battery.
Can I install it on more than one PC?
Each $7/year subscription covers one device. If you want it on two PCs (laptop + desktop, for example) just take a second subscription — still $7 per year each.
What Windows version do I need?
Windows 10 or Windows 11. The app is built on .NET 8 (WPF) and installs straight from the Microsoft Store as a signed, verified app — everything it needs is bundled, so there’s nothing else to download.
What if my internet drops out?
The widget keeps showing your last known reading and flags the connection dot. Licences revalidate once a week — you have a 7-day offline grace period either way, so brief outages are a non-issue.
Refunds?
If it doesn’t work for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we’ll refund the full amount — no questions. Cancel anytime from your billing portal to stop future renewals.
Stop unlocking your phone to check the current BGL
Try the full app free for 7 days. If you love it, it’s just seven dollars a year. Sixty seconds to set up — then it’s just there, quietly, always, on top.
