Hi. I'm a runner and a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump. I have managed to keep a reasonable amount of control of my sugars when running. I really want to buy the new Samsung watch to be able to see my blood sugars on the run. Has anyone had much success recently syncronising the Samsung smartwatch with maiomaio?

Hi, @Tricky Trev , I'm not familiar with the Samsung watch, but there's an xdrip guide at link below which I found useful when setting up my watch, a Fossil Q Explorist.

Not sure if you're planning on carrying a phone with you too when running? Very few watches will collect directly from the miaomiao and even they need jiggered with a bit, most need to get the reading via the phone.

I think at @Knikki and @porl69 are using a Ticwatch which does seem to collect directly without a phone?

Thanks for the tag Scott.
I use the Ticwatch Pro along with the MM. At the mo I am having difficulty getting it used as a standalone BUT it can be done. @Knikki has his working and am sure he will be along shortly
