Apple Watch and Diabetes Blood Glucose Sensors

[Conanius]

THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL ADVICE THREAD!!

My wife is type 1 diabetic. She uses the Freestyle Libra Link app on her iPhone, and the NFC sensor in the phone to read the Libra 2 sensors that she wears for 14 days at a time.

I'm wondering if anyone here has Type 1 Diabetes, these sensors, and an Apple Watch.... can you take readings off it? I can't seem to get a straight answer off the interwebs.

I've seen all sorts about 'tweaking' the Libra sensors by wearing things like a Nightrider Blucon to make it more of a CGM type device - interested to hear about that

Appreciate all and any guidance folks.

Really useful to know, thanks folks.

I know there is talk of an Apple Watch that can do blood glucose levels... that will be a game changer if it happens, but I don't see it coming for some time yet.

Keeping an eye on this , as after 34 years as a diabetic type 1 I’ll be moving to a freestyle next month.

Just to echo what @mrgubby said above. My wife got Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes back in March/April 2020 after being incorrectly diagnosed with Type 2 after our second child was born.

Getting a freestyle has *absolutely transformed* her life. hound, moan, complain, push until you get one.
