One thing you would really benefit from that you don't need a doctor for is getting your BG displayed on a smartwatch.
Assuming you have an Android phone and a compatible smartwatch (Galaxy Watch4 in my case):
1. You need to install G-Watch Wear App on your phone and watch
2. You need to replace the official Libre app with a 3rd party app supported by G-Watch like xDrip or Juggluco. There are a few of those, mostly not on the app store and you can even feed their data into eachother, I'm not going to go into detail here.
3. Set your watch face to one of the two available godawful ugly G-Watch Wear App watchfaces and enjoy a live glucose graph on your wrist
Depending on your datasource it updates every minute or every 5 minutes with some smoothing applied - again, lots of fiddling here.
There are some alternatives for iPhone and probably other watch apps for Android as well.
- trimethylpurine 2y agoDid you have good luck with these? I've tried 6 of these on my mom, at every price point, and compared with a prescription monitor (back of the tricep, needle thing). I couldn't find anything even remotely accurate.
- tgaj 2y agoHe is talking aobut connecting the monitor like yours to the smartwatch so you can see you glucose level without pulling our your smartphone. There is no smartwatch on the market that is able to read glucose level using some kind of infrared blood sensor. All the ads are lying.
- trimethylpurine 2y agoThanks for clarifying. I can see that's what he meant now.
