How to set up the CGM app?

Currently the only fully supported app is the app from Bruder Jacob, found here: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/034a3784-b27f-4f2a-a109-67413a5f4f83

Other apps might work as well, follow these instructions to set it up:

https://ko-fi.com/post/How-to-show-data-from-Other-apps-on-the-watchface-Q5Q8180KZT

Let me know if you have a working CGM app that you want full support for, and I'll add it in as well.

Step 1: Install the CGM app from Bruder Jacob: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/034a3784-b27f-4f2a-a109-67413a5f4f83

Step 2: Follow all the setup steps througoly as described here: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/034a3784-b27f-4f2a-a109-67413a5f4f83

Step 3: Make sure to enable setting "Enable Complications for external apps":

Step 4: In the watchface settings on the IQ app, select "CGM Connect value" in any field where you want to show the data. And save the settings.

Step 5: Wait at least 5 minutes for the first value to come in. It will show "--" until it gets the first datapoint, after that it will show the data.

IMPORTANT: When data shows up with a star behind it, the data is older than 10 minutes!

WARNING/IMPORTANT: THIS DATAFIELD MUST NOT BE USED TO MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS. This field is not intended to be used to monitor your blood glucose and should not be used as such

How to show data from Other apps on the watchface?

Some apps support complications. Complications are a way to send data from one app to other apps on the watch.

All my watchfaces support these complications, and in this brief manual I will show how this can be set up.

Step 1: Install the app you want the data from.

Step 2: Open the watchface settings on your watch, and go to "Complications from Apps".

Step 3: Select the App you want to get the data from in either Complication From App 1 or 2.

If your app doesn't show up here, the app doesn't support complications. You can ask the developer of the app to publish the data to a complication.

Step 4: Open the settings of the watchface in the IQ app, and select data "App 1" for any field you want to show it (All the way on the bottom of the list)

Step 5: That's it, enjoy!

NOTE: Some apps might take a few minutes to push the data, so if the data doesn't show up right away, give it a few minutes

NOTE2: A star (*) will show behind the data, when the data is old. This can be very important, especially for CGM data. Data can be old when the app hasn't pushed any data in the last 10 minutes, or you phone hasn't been connected (and phone connection is needed to get data).
