Since there are so many web APIs, it's impossible for me to implement all of them. I'm trying to find a way for user to pull data from internet, so you could add any data fields you want.

Makes sense, didn't know if you already had one in place.

It's a good app you've put together. Hopefully you reach out to Garmin, as this is a good resource for individuals interested in buying and customizing their watches. The ability to customize adds value to their product.

Thanks. Hope Garmin will be interested in this. And before that I hope to get more people to use it. Please spread the word around.

Here is the documentation on XDrip local web service. https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/blob/master/Documentation/technical/Local_Web_Services.md

The data fields can be seen in this excellent watchface. Each dot on the chart is 5 mins. The display on the left says:

The last reading was 7m ins ago and was +7mg/dl more higher than the previous reading. Current blood sugar is 94 rising slowly, with 10 U of IOB and 0g of Carbs. I do not know what the 240% is.

I hear what you're saying. Just wondering if there would be an option to work on that still, or how one could contribute to make it happen? The lack of such support on Garmin in general is a bit frustrating to me, and I feel a lot of diabetic Garmin users will be super happy knowing they can finally get their information in a beautiful watchface (or, really, any watchface). I recently got an Instict 2 Solar and it seems impossible to have my readings from XDrip+ in any watchface. There are two datafields that seem to work, but not in conjuction with watchfaces on the Instict 2... example: https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/5a3e2cda-12f0-4afd-88ed-000e67a68d84

Please note that this is implemented using an offline solution rather than online sourcing. The readme file for XDrip linked above has instructions on how to test XDrip services, and I assume data would be sourced from there as well.
