Yes, i have a vivoactive 3, the battery life isn't the best anyway but I'm having to charge it every day since i added this function, i might look at investing in a watch with a better battery life eventually but its an inconvenience im happy to live with for the constant readings

It displays constantly, there are a number of different watch faces available on the Garmin IQ store, i used this one https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/2a6da9b4-af1a-41d9-8586-5022ce7c6c3b

I think ive found a free alternative, following this guide using Northflank https://nightscout.github.io/vendors/northflank/new_user/ On my iphone i just have the Shuggah app, havent had to download anything else, the rest of the setup has been done on my laptop, took a bit of work to get it...

One word of warning, i followed that guide and at no point did it mention anything about a charge for Heroku, ive today received an invoice so i've cancelled it and deleted the app, will see if theres a free alternative to get this up and running again

Yes, ive got it running on my iphone and garmin watch

Its not a simple setup unfortunately, took me a while to get it working, i followed this guide though which was quite useful, hopefully Garmin can create a native app like they have for dexcom https://hypotalks.com/diabetes-tech-news/nightscout-setup-guide-dummies/

I never knew this could be done with the libre2 system, I've spent the afternoon setting up the shuggah app and nightscout so i can view my levels on my Garmin watch and Edge cycling computer, wish i'd known about this sooner! If only Abbott created a native Garmin app rather than having to...

I've eaten sugar free marshmallows in the past and they've had no impact on my blood glucose levels, however, if you eat more than a handful of them, id make sure you're not too far away from a toilet!

If im going out for a longer ride, i'll usually eat a bowl of cereal or a slice of toast about 30 to 45 minutes before setting off and wont take any insulin for it, that usually gets me through the first 90-120 minutes then i'll top up with a gel or some haribo as others have suggested, getting...

Another link on the same web page (it wont let me post a direct link but look for the Diabetes-and-Hyperglycaemia page) also defines hyperglycemia as being above 11 two hours after meal time which is why i said 10.9 isnt too much to worry about after having a high carb meal, if type 1, i'd...

10.9 isnt too much to worry about in the short term, i wouldnt say it wa stoo high a couple of hours after eating something like paste, id suggest testing again in another hour or so, it will likely come down naturally, readings like 10.9 arent dangerously high in the short term and are to be...

Im type 1 and eat things like bread, pasta and rice, it can be done while still keeping your levels under control, even non diabetics will get spikes after eating Cutting out all or most carbs is often recommended for type 2's but for a type 1 it can actually be dangerous leading to more hypo's...
