Smart watch alarm notifications

Lisa69free · Aug 21, 2021

I started using the Libre 2 last week and I thought at work it would be great if I could be notified on my watch if going hypo. I ordered a new watch in the hope of getting it to link.
Tonight I have been messing with my old Samsung Galaxy Active watch and yay I got a hypo alarm. I've already ordered a new Garmin watch for that purpose plus being able to see readings directly on it (with a bit of geeky jiggery-pokery).
Does anyone else use a watch to see current readings? What apps and what watches do you have please?

I use my Samsung... Some watches will be easier than others

Samsung/apple and wearos watches will offer greater choice as they are true smart watches

Garmin fitbit etc will have less options as they are fitness trackers with limited 'smart' features

I use diabox and an old Apple Watch.

Can you advise me on how to with my Samsung active watch please? I've tried finding Diabox but links seem to have been removed.

Goto the bubblan website or join the diabox FB group a d as to get it they can advise

I think they had an issue due to including functions they shouldnt

Diabox isn't the only option though especially if on android

Xdrip being the most common one

Thanks, I've joined a group for nightscout and it all looks very technical. Just hoped someone would be able to explain in laymen's terms lol. Do I need a computer to initiate something or can it all be configured by phone?

Did I say nightscout??

So start by getting the xdrip plus app and join the xdrip plus group

Xdrip can connect directly to the libre2 getting data every 5 minutes

Then you can install g-watch which will send the data from xdrip to the watch.. No nightscout needed... Although there are benefits to it

No you didn't, I have probably been looking at a more lengthy way and thank you

Xdrip is part if the nightscout group but is a stand alone application

Downloaded from

https://github.com/jamorham/xDrip-plus

Once you have that running you can look at g-watch

Thank you. I'll need some time to figure it out. Just seeing lots of files which I'm guessing makes an application?

Follow info page and get apk

Then on that page click get latest apk

Apk is the installer file for android so you'll open that file and install

A bit scared now. Found a setting that said if you click yes you could damage your sensor. Not good trying to do things with grandkids around lol. I'll try later

You can try uploading & installing the apk from here..
Click on the latest 2021-08-20 apk version here.. https://sirius.thetaphi.de/diabox/

Actually, I've just updated mine with the latest apk. Some nice new touches with it.

I've also just updated mine but I'm still having issues with the app being very slow. (In fact so slow to react I can't even see if there are new features.)

I wasn't sure which link to choose though, so I randomly chose the third one. Should I try one of the others?

Thank you so much. Up and running. Sensor give 4 loss of signal alarms during an hour's walk which doesn't usually happen but I guess as long as I can scan as soon as it alerts me that's ok.

I had the 21-04-29 build installed.
Then did the latest "third one."

It's only been a couple of hours with the update for me. Seems to be running smooth on my device..

I'm finding it is updated regular. Just losing alarm signal a few times
