Hmm, strange. I have just downloaded the new update (had to be done at some point) and the Sugarmate app hasn't updated since. I would like to have both that and the Dexcom complication ideally.

Thanks. That was it. I realised moments before you replied, and after I had deleted and reinstalled the app

@ElkBond are you seeing this a fair bit where the Dexcom number should be? Happened to me maybe 4-5 times today.

Not sure if it fixes itself as I always just tap on the complication which opens the app and updates it.

@ Winterwatch Yep I have had that a few times, tbh sugarmate did it too, it would say old for too long.

Annoying but o well

P.s. You can take a screenshot on your applewatch by pressing both physical buttons at the same time, saves you taking a photo of you watch hah

The other thing to mention on the new app is the "Backfill" functionality. If, for whatever reason, the app is disconnected from the transmitter, the data is now backfilled. I'm not sure for how many hours though. I assume it's eight?

Okay, so my app auto-updated and now I get the audible alerts on silent at work which is totally not cool.

Has anyone figured out a way to keep them silent?

Currently I have set the alarm tone to vibrate only on all but Urgent low (cant change it). I forgot to test with headphones but will let you know when I do.

This update is idiotic (understand the rationale behind it but really bad in real life) and terribly frustrating! Because of it I have now turned off all my notifications (which was one of the great things about CGM) but still cannot do anything about urgent lows.

Any way of downgrading to an older version or 3rd party (unsupported) apps that can be used instead?

I think they've fixed it? Mine isn't making audible alerts when my iPhone is on silent
