Gluroo

[stuarta]

Hi all,

I've just been looking at Gluroo and it looks as though it possibly displays more information than librelinkup.

Has anyone tried it and whether it will connect to both at the same time?

Many thanks

Gluroo does work with Librelinkup and I have tried it (mainly to get BG Readings on a smartwatch - but have since found a better method) - you do get "always on" readings on your phone so you can see the value and trend arrow even when it's locked which is handy (but Juggluco does this too (Not on IOS though)) - it's pretty good but I couldn't be bothered to keep updating it with Carb & Insulin doses etc. (having already scanned my smart pen on Libre) but it's worth a try if you think it might help

I use Gluroo and find it very useful, but there is, as said, a downside to having to enter in data on LibreLink and Gluroo.

I use Samsung devices and I have noticed the Gluroo team is working at getting the Samsung Health connection working so it could well be we don't have to enter in twice one day! If only LibreLink would connect to Samsung Health too...

Note: If using Libre2+ you should tell the gluroo app you are using the Libre3+ so it gets the number of days correct - they all work by using the LibreLinkUp which has a common API I believe.

Before I moved to dexcom Gluroo is what I used to have my libre glucose level displayed on my iphone and iwatch.

It was glitchy but okay. If logging more than just BG is what you want then Gluroo does the job, as @mashedupmatt said there are better alternatives that do the same with less faff. But if it works for you.

I am looking to buy a new Smartwatch that can show my BG in real time from my Libre 2+. I also use an android phone. Can anyone recommend a good compatible watch that isn't too difficult to use? Thanks.

Depends how much you want to spend on the watch - if all you want it for is BG Levels and telling the time, then I'd recommend a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 (very cheap, brand new, on Amazon) - the battery life is dreadful (needs charging once a day) but works perfectly well using Juggluco plus the G Watch Wear app or GlucoDataHandler app to display BG Levels plus trend arrows (you can configure it to vibrate alarms too) - it is very easy to use - this is my watch display:

I fear once a day (or thereabouts) is pretty normal for an always-on display smartwatch. There are certainly watches with a longer battery life but they tend to be quite a bit bigger (like the Apple Watch Ultra). My impression is that otherwise it's roughly once a day.
