Enhance-d brings CGM data, training, insulin, carbs and sleep together in one app. It is made for people who exercise with type 1 diabetes. The Swiss developer Sestante Analytics AG calls version 3.0 its biggest update so far.
Community and learning in the app
Enhance-d includes a community that stays free. People with type 1 diabetes share activities and posts, join groups and clubs, climb the leaderboard and find coaches, clinics and sports clubs in the directory. A world map lets you find other people who exercise with diabetes. Since version 3.0 there are also one-to-one and group chats. The free Enhance-d Club has chapters in the UK and the Netherlands, offers weekly online sessions and organises group runs and rides.
The Learn section offers podcasts with a built-in player, courses and interactive tools, plus the book “Empowered: The Science of Exercise with Type 1 Diabetes” by Sam Scott and Simon Helleputte, available on Amazon. The full learning library is unlocked with Pro.
The main changes:
- New home screen: A glucose card at the top shows the day's trace, time in range and the latest reading. Carbs, insulin, sleep and activities sit underneath on one timeline.
- Messages: One-to-one and group chats with photos, videos, files and voice notes, transcribed on the phone. In a chat you can share your live location for 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours or until you turn it off.
- Glucose at a glance: Home and lock screen widgets on iPhone and Android, plus a Live Activity on the iPhone lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. Both are Pro features.
- Spoken glucose: The app reads out your glucose while you record an activity, or all day while headphones are connected.
- Meter readings: Finger-prick readings can be logged and appear next to the CGM trace.
- Training zones: You can set your own heart rate zones or Coggan power zones. When the zones change, carb estimates are recalculated.
- Streaks and badges: Points (XP) for active days, a day streak and 33 badges to collect.
- New analyses: A glucose heat map by weekday and hour, plus glucose and insulin analyses by menstrual cycle phase.
- Syncing: Glooko, Tandem, Medtronic CareLink, Dexcom Share and LibreLinkUp are meant to sync more reliably. Cloud connections now check for a new reading when the sensor is due to make one.
The app is free with three integrations and recent history. The paid Enhance-d Pro subscription unlocks unlimited integrations, full history, advanced trends and the full learning library. Version 3.0 needs iOS 16.4 or Android 9 or later. According to the developer, Enhance-d is not a medical device and does not give high or low glucose alarms.
Enhance-d is available on the App Store and on Google Play.
