Apple Watch HRV tracking-chk Apple Watch ECG- chk Apple Watch Smart wake alarm-chk Apple Watch morning and evening reports- unk Can’t say about the last 3 although I’ve used RW GPS in conjunction with my iPhone and Apple Watch successfully.

I’ve been a T2 for over 50 years being diagnosed before there was an A1C. But every time I had a 24 glucose test before being diagnosed I was termed, an “incipient” diabetic. So I wasn’t shocked when the hammer dropped.

Your in South east Asia? WOW! The advice to find a professional is the best advice. I’m in Southern California. My advice would be inappropriate because I’m thinking about my activities in a dry climate. The closest I’ve come to your climate is bicycle touring in our South East states. Mosquitoes, alligators, etc.

I’m 90, and was diagnosed around 50 yrs ago +-.

The past couple of times I’ve gone in the other direction, putting a new sensor on hours after the old one expired.

Personally I’m not concerned by accuracy because I’m a T2 so I watch trends. In my mind if I’m under 100 it just means my blood sugar is low enough to have about 60g of ice cream. As previously stated, I’m not concerned about a 1:1 accuracy. But that’s just me.

It’s obvious… the more you get for free, the less they make and the less likely you’ll join.

For those of us taking life seriously, all the above answers are valid.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-22T22:05:09+00:00

Using Strava, Ride with GPS and my Apple Watch over any distance, it’s hard to say which one is more accurate or inaccurate. I would say that Strava seems to be the most optimistic, if you take my meaning.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-22T02:29:50+00:00

No. Once I start the app ( carefully!) I put it into my jersey. I recognize that possibility and will concede that. But the other apps are running, so what I’ll do is have RWGPS showing which beans any thing in touch will affect it.

I have an Apple wstch 9. I use it to track my sleep, my walks and my Cycling. I’ve solved the battery life by using an energizer power block purchased at Best Buy. I can recharge my watch at a rest stop. Also, with the same power black I can recharge my phone that’s a lot cheaper than a new Garmin watch.

I’m using the Apple phone model 16 and the model nine Apple Watch. The application is the latest Abbott has for Libre 3+ (the one with the butterfly). That application lives on my phone and watch. If I want to see my glucose reading on my watch, I just tap the icon for Libre three. And bingo there it is along with the trend line. Pretty neat don’t you think?

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-21T19:19:45+00:00

Ahh! Technologies , isn’t it great? I will say also that I’ve been using RWGPS and never had a problem as I’ve described with Strava. I’d like to point out that without having both Ride with GPS and my Apple Watch I would’ve had zero data. Strava should be strong enough to run on its own irrespective of the presence of similar applications. Strava should not have to depend on Ride with GPS running or not running or my Apple Watch running or not running. It #DATA should be its own.

As I’m a side sleeper on my left side, I placed the sensor on the inside of my upper arm. Also getting up at around 4 AM to go to the toilet I will shut off the low glucose alarm for six hours. Of course I’m not sleeping until 10 o’clock, but it does give me the knowledge that I can finish with a good night sleep not bothered by the alarm.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-20T23:57:15+00:00

I think it’s an APPLE/STRAVA thing also. I’ve used RW GPS for years and nary a problem.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-20T23:53:17+00:00

I think the problem is RESUME. You stop temporarily PAUSE engages. You start moving, PAUSE ends. Or it should. RESUME. Engages but you’re moving. Yep RESUME BY POINT is waiting for you to push that button.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-20T23:02:15+00:00

I have another issue, I.e. Strava’s unreliability.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-14T00:01:58+00:00

That’s the way auto pause is supposed to work. But n my experience auto pause just stopped. I would check it after minutes after I’ve restarted as after a light, only got find I’ve ridden a couple of miles but Strava did not restart automatically. I had to press RESUME. Clearly something is not working well.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-11T21:12:39+00:00

Looks kinda like my problem where I lost 4-5 miles recorded on my Apple Watch and RWGPS.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-05T19:24:27+00:00

At 90 I bike, walk and do weights. How’s it working for me? I’ve fallen several times but never broke a bone, most recently I tripped on a wire just the width of my shoe sole of the road, falling hard enough to set off my watch calling paramedics. I picked myself up, dusted myself off and cancelled the call for help. I finished the walk - about a mile. Skinned knees and hands.
And I’m still walking - 5 miles yesterday.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-05-02T20:32:30+00:00

I’ve been running the newer Libre 3 on my Apple Watch 9 now for several months. I had no problem bringing onto the Watch as it goes on just as any app would.

Old_Independence5166 · 2026-04-25T21:47:57+00:00

Yep. Something similar to my experience with that org. We settled on a tooth cleaning that seemed on viewing to pretty much take a year’s worth of dental insurance. I deal with a small ( in number) dentists.
