Hi there! I understand that your app is not measuring blood sugar or blood pressure as expected. To help you better, could you please tell me a bit more about the app you're using? Is it a specific app designed to connect with external devices like blood glucose monitors or blood pressure cuffs, or is it one that just tracks manually entered data? Also, are you seeing any error messages or is the app simply not showing any measurements?

Meanwhile, I'll guide you through some general steps that often help with measurement issues on iPhone health-related apps:

1. Check Device Compatibility and Connections
Make sure your iPhone is paired correctly via Bluetooth to your blood glucose and blood pressure monitors if they are external devices. Sometimes, the app depends on real devices to get readings; it does not measure them directly on the phone1.

2. Activate Your Devices Through the App
Some apps require you to activate or authorize your devices within the app settings. Check if there is a device activation menu and follow the prompts accordingly2.

3. Ensure App Permissions Are Enabled
Confirm that the app has permission to access Bluetooth and health data on your iPhone. You can check this in your iPhone’s Settings under Privacy > Bluetooth and Privacy > Health.

4. Update App and iOS
Since you are on iOS version 26_5_0, which seems recent, check that the app is updated to the latest version. Updates sometimes fix bugs related to device pairing or data syncing.

5. Understand the App's Functionality
If the app is like some others noted in search results, it may not measure blood sugar or blood pressure directly but rather helps you record readings taken by your home monitor4. So you’ll need to use your separate device for measurement and input or sync the data into the app.

If you provide the app's name and more about how you're trying to measure (manual entry, external monitor, etc.), I can offer more tailored guidance!

Does this make sense so far? Are you able to connect any external device to the app?

App does not measure blood sugar nor blood pressure.

Thanks for clarifying your concern about the app not measuring blood sugar or blood pressure. From what I understand, it sounds like the app you’re using is not directly reading these measurements itself, correct?

Many health-tracking apps, especially on iPhone, do not have the built-in capability to physically measure blood sugar or blood pressure. Instead, they serve as tools to log and track data collected from external devices like blood glucose meters or blood pressure monitors. These external devices take the actual measurements and then sync or allow manual entry into the app to monitor trends over time3 7.

Here is what I recommend to troubleshoot or clarify the situation:

1. Check if You Have Compatible Devices
To measure blood sugar or pressure, you will need a compatible external monitor that can either connect with the app via Bluetooth or allow manual input. Ensure your devices are properly paired or connected.

2. Verify Device Activation and Permissions
If you have physical devices, make sure they are fully charged and activated through the app if needed. Also, confirm the app has permission to use Bluetooth and Health data on your iPhone (Settings > Privacy > Bluetooth and Health).

3. Manual Data Entry Option
If your app doesn’t sync automatically, see if there’s a manual entry option to input your readings taken directly from your home monitors.

4. Look for Specific App Features
Check the app’s description or help section. Many popular apps focus solely on tracking and don’t perform actual measurements — they rely on dedicated devices to provide readings1 6.

5. Consider Apps That Sync with Devices
If you want an app that syncs directly with blood glucose meters or blood pressure monitors, you might explore options like mySugr, Tidepool, Glucose Buddy, or Glooko, which are designed to integrate with such devices5.

Could you let me know which exact app you are using, and if you have any external devices you are trying to connect? That way I can provide more tailored advice on next steps.

Are you satisfied with this explanation, or would you like help setting up connections or exploring suitable apps?
