If you can connect your CGM directly to *Loop* that is preferred. You can customize the *Loop* app to interface with the *xDrip4iOS* DIY CGM app if you prefer. You can use *xDrip4iOS* as a follower instead of a client to get some features from *xDrip4iOS* without any need to customize the *Loop* app.

If possible, it is recommended that *Libre* users take advantage of [LibreTransmitter](https://github.com/LoopKit/LibreTransmitter/blob/main/readme.md) which is incorporated into the *Loop* app for version 3.4 and later. However, some *Libre* sensors have encryption that limits ability to get data through open-source code and instead requires using the *LibreLinkUp* server.
