Sugar Sense – Real-Time CGM Glucose Display for Garmin Watches

Hi everyone,

I’m working on Sugar Sense, a companion glucose-monitoring app for people using FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom, and Nightscout.

Sugar Sense currently provides real-time glucose readings, trend information, customizable high and low alerts, predictive low alerts, statistics, and family/caregiver sharing.

I would like to explore bringing Sugar Sense to Garmin watches through Connect IQ. The Garmin version could display:

  • Current glucose reading
  • Glucose trend arrow
  • Time since the latest reading
  • High, low, and in-range status
  • A glance, widget, watch-face complication, or data field

The data would be synchronized through the Sugar Sense mobile app or backend. The Garmin app would be a companion display only and would not provide insulin-dose or treatment recommendations.

I’m looking for feedback about technical feasibility, supported Garmin devices, and the best Connect IQ implementation approach. I’m also interested in connecting with an experienced Connect IQ developer.
