Glucose on my wrist, part 3: Pebble

(The original "part 3" was using a Xiaomi Mi Band 4 which worked but not very well.)

When the Pebble watches were "resurrected" I ordered one and it arrived a little while ago. It seems like the perfect watch to display glucose data. It looks like this right now:

The setup is:

  • Minimed app reads data from insulin pump
  • xDrip app reads data from Minimed's notification
  • xDrip app pushes glucose data and graph to Pebble watch

I actually have another phone as well, because I want developer options enabled to effectively hack on xDrip, but the Minimed app won't run on a device with dev options. So I run Minimed and plain xDrip on phone 1, and use a sync follower to get the same data in xDrip on phone 2, which also has the Pebble connection. Then I can make xDrip changes for the Pebble watchface easily. But two phones is very clunky.
