Shuggah

I am a massive Shuggah fan and I’m part way through the life of a libre so it is still working for me but I’m dismayed to hear a problem might be round the corner.

Have you been able to connect to Zukka at all, especially with the Apple Watch?

I too have contacted Shuggah in the light of what’s been said in order to clarify.

Further update from me … I found the Zukka app when I searched for “Shuggah”. It came up under that search in App Store.

I’ve downloaded it and got everything working on my iPhone, attached it to day 8 of existing sensor and got it to pipe through to my Apple Watch.

The only thing I’m missing is being able to attach it as a big complication on a modular watch face so you could tap on it and get very big writing on your Apple Watch saying what your current blood sugar is (which is what you did with Shuggah). I found this really useful when I was out walking. I can’t see the bit on the watch app that enables me to do it. But at least I’ve got some functionality. Albeit small lettering.

On previous posts on the same topic, some of you brilliant tech experts out there have sussed out these glitches and updated the rest of us. So I’m hoping someone will come along and know what to do.

@Paulaah just a question about Zukka. Whilst using Zukka and getting readings on your Apple Watch, can you still get continuous readings on LibreLink too?

Hi Rachox,

Mmmm ….the answer is I’m not sure because I still start my libre with the handset. I think Debbiescott might have a view on that as every time this topic comes up us same forum members get involved and I think that aspect has been mentioned before.

I myself have only just been allocated a DSN last week (hurrah - she’s marvellous), and as I’m now sharing libre graphs she’s asked me to start my next sensor with my phone so that we don’t get any gaps in data.

So I will know more about your question in just over a weeks’ time.

Will be interested to hear what happens

You can’t have Bluetooth enabled for both and have reliable connections according to the team that developed the software.. So you can’t get continuous readings in Shuggah/zukka/xdrip4ios. But you can still scan manually at intervals to keep the data on libreview.

Ah thank you, that’s very helpful.
