Frequently Asked Questions
Does this mean I can use Tidepool if I don't live in the United States?
We do not restrict access to Tidepool outside the United States, but you should take note of our Privacy Policy, "[A]t this time, Tidepool Apps are only intended for use in the United States and the European Union (‘EU’). The Tidepool Apps and Tidepool Platform are hosted in the United States and all information is stored in the United States.

Can I use my meter that only displays in mmol/L?
That’s tricky. Devices upload either in mg/dL or in mmol/L. Very few let you set the units yourself, and this is typically hardcoded by the device manufacturer. We’re working to add support for all mmol/L devices, but unless we actually have a mmol/L version of a particular device in our hands, we can’t test it to make sure our software will behave properly.
If you have a mmol/L device and it's not displaying data correctly in Tidepool or you’re using a device that uploads in mmol/L that we don’t yet support, please send an email to support@tidepool.org.
What about some other device that I use for my diabetes management that you don't yet support?
If you are using a device that is not yet supported by Tidepool, please send an email to support@tidepool.org so we can prioritize our engineering efforts.
Please reach out to support@tidepool.org if you have any questions or feedback on this article. Please include the article title if you are submitting feedback to make it easier for us to identify what changes need to be made.
