Technology has beaten me.

[edz]

Recently diagnosed as type 1 and also almost deaf. Can anyone tell me if I can get my cgm on my samsung galaxy watch 7 ultra.
Being almost deaf I can't hear my phone alarms and think getting it on my watch would make life a good bit better.
Thanks in advance

Hi @edz and a warm welcome to the forum
I can't help with your Tech problem as technology beat me years ago, but I'm sure someone will come along and offer some advice

Alan 😉

Thanks Alan.

Hi @edz
I’m a technophobe and I can’t answer the watch question but I can tell you your phone will vibrate when your alarm goes off. So if you keep it on your person you should feel it. Some one more techy will be along soon.

Hello, I can get BG alarms to read & vibrate on my galaxy watch 4. Using Juggluco app for phone & watch downloaded at the play store. If the watch is compatible it should install the app?

Hi and welcome @edz

If you type ‘link galaxy smart watch 7 to cgm’ or the specific sensor Libre/Dexcom you’re using there is a lot of information/videos online on how to link the two together.

Some of the sensors link directly with eg Dexcom app others you may have to use an alternative app eg Juggluco that sends the cgm data to the watch.

As said above you can have alerts set to vibrate for highs lows etc so you can feel the watch vibrate on your wrist.

@edz - I don't have any such watch so again, can't advise you specifically - but I think if you could tell us which sensor you have (because they don't all communicate with the same devices) it should help someone advise you better.

Brilliant, thanks.

I am very luck and have the choice of either the libre 2 plus or dexcom one +

Either one should work with juggluco on an Android phone sending to a wear OS watch like yours. Infact I can pick up the libre signal straight to my watch without the phone via Bluetooth.

Hi @edz and welcome to the forum
There are a few options for getting the BG data to your watch. As mentioned above juggluco, also Gluroo and also G-Watch. Each of these gives you slightly different info on your watch but I'm sure all of them require your phone to talk to the sensor and then it can be shared with your watch automatically. Hence your phone must be close by.
Your phone alarms should be echoed on your watch, but I have missed some alarms on my watch (because a single beep & vibrate could be anything!) until I switched to Gluroo (though I was using G-Watch for a while previous to that).
When in church I have my phone on silent and no vibration and my watch on just vibrate. Gluroo gives persistent vibration (and increasing sound if sound is on) ... It does get my attention if there is any alarm 🙂

Hi @edz - a Galaxy watch 7 ultra will not work with G Watch Wear - you would need to download GlucoDataHandler instead and use Juggulco to talk to it and show readings - If you go for a Libre 2+ if you go to the "Libre Geeks" Facebook page that has loads of different configurations for watches - I have a Galaxy Watch 4 (old school me!) and instructions on there helped me to get to this:

I use GlucoDataHandler app, which I found actually surprising easy to set up & use to get the readings onto my Samsung Smart watch
I’m assuming you have an Android phone @edz is that the case ? If so am happy to share how I did this

I use Gwatch & Juggluco on Galaxy 4. Gwatch is the 6 oclock complication. But the Libre can work direct to my watch on Juggluco, if need be. Lovely bunch of setups, by the way. 🙂

Hope you manage to get it to work @edz

Getting different devices to cooperate and talk to each other is so great when it works, but can be such a faff to set up!

Getting them to chat is fantastic. Little more difficult in a rowdy space at a rock concert. Years back there was a “land grab” for radio band frequencies? My brother in law flies model planes & drones, he mentioned it at the time. I’m no expert, it had something to do with “Ofcom?” BT & WiFi are on a bandwidth spectrum also by all accounts regulated by Ofcom? Certain radio model remotes & wirelss music gear I believe were suddenly “banned.” Having to comply with new bandwidth rules.They were already hot on the tail of CB & “pirate” radio, decades earlier?

Yep the wireless frequencies used by microphones and instruments in the music industry have to squeeze into a very narrow bandwidth of legally permitted (and heavily regulated) frequencies. And large events like modern music festivals can have dozens of ‘lines’ needed per stage to transmit various instruments, in-ear-monitors, fold-backs, feeds for lighting and pyrotechnic operators etc etc. Not to mention any needed for media coverage! And different professionals and techs have to request frequencies by time-slot.

Occasionally errors can occur, and between sound-check and the live performance, the overlap between adjacent users can completely silence something (or someone!) important 😱

I’ve seen “Spinal Tap.” 😉 (the airforce base scene?) there was also a band I saw who kept picking up a Karaoke queen up the road singing “man, I feel like a woman?”
