Troubleshooting CGM

Happy Bob is designed to help you monitor your glucose levels in a fun way. Happy Bob connects to your CGM and helps you monitor your glucose levels throughout the day while notifying you with personal messages. Keeping your glucose within the target range earns you stars. The purpose of Happy Bob is to motivate users in self-care by offering a rewarding and encouraging experience.

Important. Do not use Happy Bob as a substitute for medical care, or interpret Bob’s messages as medical instructions. Happy Bob does not replace the primary CGM application.
