For those switching from *Dexcom G6* to *Dexcom G7*, you might forget to add permission for the *G7* app to write to *Apple Health*. If you want long-term history of those CGM readings to persist in *Apple Health*, turn on the permission for the *Dexcom* app to write glucose to *Health*.

If either the G6 or the G7 has permission to write to *Apple Health*, then *Loop* will delete the *Loop* glucose data in *Apple Health* that are older than 3 hours and newer than 1 week. The *Dexcom* app will write its glucose values to Health when each value is 3 hours old.

The Libre plugin for Loop, [LibreTransmitter](https://github.com/LoopKit/LibreTransmitter/), connects directly via Near Field Communication (NFC) during pairing (for some sensors) and via Bluetooth (direct to sensor or direct to a transmitter attached to the sensor) for regular readings. No other app is needed.

There are solutions for some Libre 3 but they cannot reside on an iPhone. The Android solution can be uploaded to Nightscout, with Loop using Nightscout as a Remote CGM; but this requires internet access to continue closed-loop performance.

Part of the problem with Libre sensors is that there are differences in region, type and "security generations" which makes it hard to account for all variants. For example, the Libre 2 US has a different "security generation" than European Libre 2 sensors (different encryption in the data transmitted over bluetooth).
