Feature Request: show incoming glucose data as special tile/window

Lixiss — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 21:39:00 GMT

Hello I tried galaxy fit 3 watch and it doesn't show glucose readings. Samsung health displays readings correctly but i dont see how to set it up on my watch. Is it possible? Maybe someone knows a list of watches what do work and show glucose numbers and have special icon for it or window on screen

None of the Samsung watches measure glucose.

I think they may be referring to the app for their meter. May have it on the phone but no companion app for the watch.

If your meter's app does not have a companion app for the watch, you can't set it up. You would have to contact the manufacturer to see if they plan on coming out with a watch version. What you can do is see the numbers in the health app on the watch, just as in the health app on the phone. If you need an alert, you should check the phone app's settings and allow alerts for high/low glucose. You can then make sure, in the wear app, that you allow notifications from that app on the watch.

As @LongHiker said, there is no watch (Samsung or otherwise) that acts as a glucose meter.

I dont need it to measure i have a senosor for it, but with health connect i see my sensor reading in Samsung health as a graph so i was wondering if Samsung health can show my reading by connecting to my sensor app maybe a watch can also display them

Yes I want this. How do you set this up because I cant see these numbers on my watch but on Samsung health they show up.

I'm sorry, I seem to have been mistaken about that. I was under the impression that if you had the tile on your phone's health app home page, it would appear in the list in the watch's health app. I no longer use that tile myself, so I removed it from my page, and I thought that was why I didn't see it in the list of measurements. First, I thought it was because it was a manual entry item, but water is there and that has to be manually entered. IMO, it's the dumbest move Samsung could make with this app, since that's a measurement people want to see and enter -- more so than water. Water even has it's own tile, but glucose doesn't. They should have spent their development time adding that feature rather than those stupid health cards and goals notifications.

Perhaps you should tag your post as a feature request to add it.

So what was the resolution to this? I wear a dexcom stelo and Samsung Health records/displays the data from the stelo on my galaxy phone. How can I get the same blood glucos information to display on my watch? It shouldn't be so difficult should it? Or, do we need to just upgrade to apple?

I never did receive an answer to why we can not see Samsung Health cgm information updated on the watch and Samsung has been teasing that they will soon make their watches able to display blood glucos readings for years now so I have had it. I am selling my samsung products on eBay and I have already ordered a new iphone and apple watch. The apple watches and phones are capable of displaying Dexcom Stelo readings. Samsung has really slid downhill in my opinion. Good luck to you who try to hang on to their devices. I really doubt they will ever care what their customers think and their products will not improve.

Ever wonder why Samsung offers a trad-in for Apple products if you switch to their products but Apple doesn't feel the need to? I think I now see why.
