This is awesome. It worked great on my iWatch for a while and now all I can get is ?? where the reading should be. What do I need to do to remove the two question marks and get the readings again.
Hey. My widgets are not working / updating on my apple watch 9. when i click them they work when i "open" the nightwatch app. but not on the watch idle screen - its not updating ??
Just tried this and it worked. BUT it is a bit confusing. You have to press the green title that says "Other formats for various apps". Not the button or anywhere else. Is it possible for you to update your corrected comment and make it clearer? It seems that is a lot of people (including myself) that has trouble finding the link.
Merci infiniment pour ton aide! J´ai tout essayé alors qu’il suffisait simplement de cliquer sur le titre en vert!!! ---- Thank you very much for your help! I tried everything even though all I had to do was click on the title in green!!!
This is what happened to me. But the whole reason of me doing this was to have my number displayed on my watch. Well that was the purpose for me. So I just changed it to display as text on the Watch complication setting. I guess it works fine too.
The "NightGuard" App is not synching the data after adding the URL as instructed. Does anyone has a solution. "Error: Invalid JASON received from API V2 Properties, missing bgs data. Check Nightscout configurations." Please help. Thanks!
The biggest problem I am facing is that my Nightguard complication does not update! An hour may pass and the value wont update. I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2. This is extremely frustrating. The values do come in Nightguard, but I have to launch the app in my Watch to see the most current value. Let me know how to fix this. I have tried everything so far.
Got the same thing. It would be awesome to have on my watch but this is just too much.. lost me with the Nightguard setup. That's when it seemed to not move forward
It definitely works, I have had the same error and it is solved by copying in the correct format: 1. When you are in Devices and Integrations and then Data, scroll down to Gluroo Global Connect. 2. You will see the Copy and Copy icon. Click here. 3. A pop up with the title NS-Compatible URLs should appear. The third option is Nightguard(iOs) and to its right, the copy icon. Copy it. 4. When you get Copy to Clipboard, go to Nightguard / More / Preferences and copy to Nightscout, as shown in the video. I hope it works for you, that's how I solved it! Best regards and good luck!
@@irenemcastro Thank you for this help. I'm almost there. I had the same error messages as above, but then I pasted in the iOs version, I got a new error that says: "Invalid JSON received from API V2 Properties, missing bgs data. Check Nightscout configuration." Any idea what to do from here? Thanks in advance, if you see this!
Just tried this out with your Correction. It appears that with iOS 10 that the graph doesn't show on the front screen of the watch. You can click on the blank space where I put it (in the center like on your watch) and it will take me to the information, but it doesn't show it on the watch in real time or even delayed time. Maybe a newer update of Nightguard will correct this. Thank you for sharing this.
I did both down load but when I copy and pasted the URL, the Nightscout app is saying The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. Anyone know what to do?
Because Apple don’t want us to be compatible with libre as they want to make a non invasive watch I would imagine!! I thought the same if only we didn’t love in such a greedy world I would be able to get my glucose readings on my watch and be a happy hunny but no as usual it’s not compatible as they want to make money out of us!!
My widgets do not automatically update on my phone or my watch. I have to click on the widget to see what my actual current blood sugar is- the number shown on the widget is what my blood sugar was the last time I opened the app. How do I fix this? I have all apps open in the background.
Awesome ! That’s a good news because the at work it s always complicated to check on your phone and see what’s going on. But, I have a problem on my AW. I can’t find the way to have the graph on it like your do (I can only see the numbers and text) . Can you help me with that please ?
Many thanks for the tutorial. Everything works as described. But the values on my Apple Watch do not update automatically. I always have to tap the value for an update first. Is there any solution regarding this? BR
I don’t think so, was the same for me when I used it. It’s up to Apple to change that. I spoke to gluroo and they said that if you use the app often enough it may begin to update automatically but I haven’t tested that myself
@@diabe_techbut problem is with not updating both application. If we will use more gluroo app the nightguard also will work better? I have the same problem :/
I want to see my values on my Apple Watch so that I can go for a run without having to take my phone with me. So does your phone have to be near the watch to be able to use these features or not? Thanks!
Yes I didn't have any night owl url appearing on my gluroo app so couldn't proceed. Tried to do the above gluroo to apple watch instructions. Very complicated and gave up.
I am a parent and want my child to have a watch (sim and data enabled) to receive her BG readings from Libre 2. She currently carries a phone as a receiver, lately the phone(s) are getting lost and I have no visibility of her readings, is there way please to use a watch and remove the hassle of phone with a 5 year old child altogether?
Dude....phenomenal video, unfortunately these directions do not function with the most recent software versions, I'm running 17.5.1 now, and the nightguard app doesn't show up on the watch or on the phone for widgets :( .... can you do an update video?!
I have been trying to set this up all evening and am having a problem. When I paste the URL from Gluroo to Nightguard, it tells me that it is not in the right format and I am stopped from that point. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Thank you very much for the tutorial! The only problem is that the value on the Apple Watch and also in Nightguard on the iPhone does not update automatically in the background. You always have to open the app first on the Watch and the iPhone to get the value. This also renders the complication on the Watch obsolete. Or have I overlooked an important step in getting the live data on my Apple Watch?
Yes, exactly the same here. The reading shown on the watch face complication is the last reading seen when I opened the app - it does not automatically update on the watch face. As above, am I doing something wrong as this really limits how useful this could be?
My widget is only updating once I go into the Nightguard app on the watch. Background app refresh is on. What could be the problem? It’s useless like this if it shows a very outdated value
4:58 hi, when I paste the URL into nightguard it’s saying “the data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format”. Can anyone help please? 😢
In Gluroo, go to settings and devices then other then under Gluroo Global Connect select the green copy icon and it will pull up a screen with 4 links to copy. Copy the iOS one and paste that one into Nightguard.
So, there is still no way to have the data directly from the sensor to the watch. Am I right? That would be a real game changer expecially for parents like me when our kids are playng soccer or swimming.
Awesome video! I struggled a little bit but I was able to install everything and on my watch. The only problem is that on the watch complication when I did it as gauge it always stays as a question mark instead of displaying the level info. Is there a way to fix that? I did change it to show it as text for now and it’s ok for now. Thanks so much for this video. I am a type 2 diabetic trying to watch my levels and this helps so much.
Any chance this is a direct to watch solution? Or does the phone always need to be in Bluetooth range to the Libre? Would be nice to go for a bike ride or jog without the phone.
When trying to add the night guard widget to my Home Screen it wasn't an option that populated in my list. Gluroo was there. How do I get the night guard to show as a widget to add?

Right, Same with me 🤦♂🤪
All the steps seemed to work but I haven’t been able to add a Nightguard widget. Does Nightguard still support the widget?
Same here.
Unfortunately this no longer works and only question marks show up 🤷🏻♀️ Excellent video! Are there any fixes for this?
You need to actually touch the icon with the question marks to display the data.
