Garmin watch &780g Minimed

[alohanicky2009]

Is there a garmin watch that will show what my BS are ? I am using 780g Medtronic pump , my pump can be underneath clothing and I am unable to have a phone visible at work , so thought if I got a garmin watch and linked it to pump ( not even sure if smart watch can show data) it would be so easy and discreet, but give me reassurance . Or if anyone could recommend a watch which is not expensive. Many thanks

Basically no…. It can be done with lots of fuss you can find a method to upload to Nightscout then find an app or method to send that to the watch

The only watch there is an actual app for is the Apple Watch but this still need the phone it does not connect to the pump


The best way is to either rely on the pump for the data.. or discuss the importance of the phone to the company or even see if occupational health can advise the company of the importance of the phone

I don't have a pump but do use XDrip+ and have a Garmin Fenix and bike headunit, both of which can show my data.

Perhaps this links will provide a pointer?:

Hi,

I could be totally wrong but the 780g pump @alohanicky2009 uses work with a Guardian 4 sensor.?
Which from what I see would mean for now would need a switch to the Apple “ecosystem” for the readings to be practically run on a watch.

I’m a Libre & Galaxy watch man myself using Juggluco & xDrip.
Oddly, using Juggluco on wear OS it is possible to negate the need for a phone after starting the sensor & run it straight to the watch..

You're very probably right, I've not looked very hard, but I'd be surprised if there weren't a way to do it (though it may be hacky)

What CGM do you use @alohanicky2009 ?

I love the challenge of helping with a workaround, providing there is some clarity on what we’re starting with.
