App recommendations for Libre 2

[Meefster]

Hi everyone,

I am awaiting delivery of my first Libre 2 sensors and am looking for recommendations for android apps that i can use. i currently use a fitbit charge 5 for activity tracking and use myfitnesspal for tracking food intake and carbs. i guess the ideal solution would be something that combines these features and adds cgm to the mix, but i appreciate that it might not exist . i have a fairly recent samsung smartphone and would consider getting a google watch (or maybe a better fitbit if it can integrate bg display) to replace the charge 5.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

There is no app that I know of which combines Libre 2 CGM, Fitbit and MyFitnessPal data all in one place.

The most sophisticated Android app is xDrip+ which can be used with a server called Nightscout which provides data analysis. At one time that did support Fitbit in a basic way but I'm no longer sure if that functionality still works. There are ways to get xDrip to display readings on smart watches I believe. The biggest downside of that solution is that getting Nightscout working is a pain, requiring that you pay for a hosting service or setup your own server. There are good instruction documents for it but still a pain - Link and Link

Juggluco is another good Android app which can display on Google smart watches (WearOS) - lots of very good graphing functionality in the app itself without the need for a server. Does not support calibration of the sensor though, which xDrip+ can do. - Link

Gluroo is a relatively simple app that supports smart watches and has some food logging capability - Link

There are apps that combine CGM data with Fitbit, and others that have reasonably blood glucose and food tracking capability but which only work with Dexcom CGMs at this time. Cronometer for example is a great food tracker which links to Fitbit and Dexcom but unfortunately not Libre. No app does it all well, yet.
