HI @spiritfree , I don't know the answer to your question because although I do get my readings on my phone I'm a dexcom user, but both @Antje77 and @Jaylee have posted on this topic in the past so I'll tag them in to see if they can help.

Please bear in mind that the bulk of our members are asleep now so you may need to wait till the UK evening to get an answer. Good luck.

Hi,

I don't use the tick watch. But are you using the XDrip app on your phone?

 

[Antje77]

It worked great with Libre 1

How did you use it with the Libre1? Did you use a device on top of the sensor, like Bubble or MiaoMiao?

Yes please

Yes I am.

Let's start at the beginning. Does your Xdrip app on the phone work with the Libre 2?

 

[Yellowfrench]

I have the same issue. Wondering if this got resolved? I used a ticwatch (xdrip) and lobre 1 sensor and it worked fine, but a recent upgrade to Libre 2 and xdrip wont recognise sensor. Grateful for any help please.

There is now a new Freestyle Libre 2 app at google play called Juggluco. It displays the glucose values received via Bluetooth immediately on the screen. Abbott's Librelink app uses these values, strange enough, only for alarms. They are mostly exactly the same as the scanned values; occasionally they differ minimally.
If you configure your watch to receive notifications from this app. They will also be displayed on your watch if you select Notify in the menu.

From what I've found this app is very, very new, so if you want to try this app I'd expect there aren't many people who can answer questions on it, I couldn't for instance find a Facebook group on the app, like there are for xDrip or DiaBox.

If I understand correctly it only works with certain Garmin smartwatches (correct me if I'm wrong) so it won't be of use with your Ticwatch.

There is a special watch app only for Garmin. But every smartwatch can receive android notifications. This means that when you turn it on, with every new value a notification is sent to your Smartphone. Because the watch vibrates every time a new value arrives (every minute) and because you have to look at your watch at that moment to see the value, it is not ideal, but useful during physical activity.

Juggluco is not widely tested, but you can see yourself that the values it generates are the same as the ones shown at the Librelink app. You don't need to uninstall Librelink.

Except that Juggluco has to take over the Bluetooth connection with the sensor and the alarm function of Librelink will not function anymore.

I'll stick to DiaBox, which sends your numbers to your phone as well, and which can be used with a smartwatch without the notifications (which I don't because I don't have a smartwatch).
The main reason for me to use DiaBox is that you can calibrate it, my sensors always read lower than blood, so if I used LibreLink it would tell me I'm hypo a lot of the time.

I don’t understand. Juggluco is an android app, which mainly represents the glucose values on the phone. The advantage is that it doesn’t need a Freestyle Libre extender like DiaBox and gives the same value as the Librelink app. If these values are wrong for you, that is naturally no advantage.When I set the low glucose alarm at 4 mmol/L at night, the alarm also goes off a lot when in reality it isn’t that low. The difference is not large, but around 4 it means a lot. Mostly it is because the glucose readings fluctuate; so that it is now and then lower then 4, although the general trend is higher.

DiaBox is an app as well, no need anymore for add on devices like Bubble, MiaoMiao or BluCon, the app is enough.

Hello,

I've actually found & gave the Juggluco app a bit of a "test drive."

To my mind it needs a little more refinement to be a player against Diabox or xDrip?
For starters there doesn't seem to be a home screen widget option with the Juggluco app.
The veiw of the app when open only seemed to be in "panoramic" mode? Though there was a settings option to turn the panaramic screen up the other way?
The user interface on my Android device was also a little buggy. With no clear icons determining what did what.
Alas, looking for the setting & other options was like "pinning the tail on the donkey?"

Though i sincerely applaud whoever developed this for 'avin a go.
It still has a little way to go just yet, before I would consider this particular app as a day to day diabetes assistant on my device.

Have you searched the watch face app store for CGM or glucose? I use Diabox and have had my levels sent to a Samsung active watch and my new Garmin watch. The odd disconnection but nothing a reboot won't fix

Juggluco is obviously developed by someone who hates the portrait only mode of Librelink. If you want that glucose curve to be displayed with 6 hours in one centimetre, you should use Librelink or so. It is meant get a better picture of glucose values than is possible with Librelink, Freestyle reader or Libreview which are all the same concept. For the same reason the screen is not taken up with a menubar or icons. The content of the menu you can see by pressing a certain part of the screen, which also doesn't use the terribly slow material design animated menu of android.

But in Librelink I was not even able to decipher the glucose value before the meal the previous day.

"Invert screen" and "disable camera key" seems a bit superfluous, but scanning is on one side of the phone, which makes that you touch the phone in a certain manner which can influence how you touch the screen during scanning.

I have no experience with other apps displaying glucose values coming via Bluetooth from Freestyle Libre 2 sensors.

This is Diabox if you haven't seen it
