Apple Watch UK - G5

[Winterwatch]

Hi,

I, like others I am sure, have been disappointed to find out that Dexcom do not currently provide Apple Watch compatibility for their app outside of the US (at least not in the UK).

I've just seen that a third party app, Sugarmate, is available outside of the US as of late February 2017. Has anyone tried this in the UK with an Apple Watch and, if so, how did you find it?

Thanks

I've just looked, and Sugarmate is a free app, so why not just download it and try it out?

I have but do not currently have an Apple Watch. I would likely buy one though if the app works as intended.

It seems to sync pretty much exactly with my Dexcom app without a delay. I see no reason why it shouldn't follow through to the watch but it would be helpful if anyone is able to confirm.

In case anyone is interested, I went ahead and tried it out. Seems to work well so far, updating onto the watch pretty much instantly. Image attached. It does show the trending arrow next to the glucose number when there is one.

Hey there,

I posted about this last week in some detail:

While we are talking about Apple watches, did you know that pressing both the side physical buttons at the same times a screenshot and sends it to the iPhones camera roll.
