About
This is the companion app to my widget - Nightscout Widget. It displays data from a Nightscout website.
Nightscout (Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Cloud) is an open source, DIY project that allows real time access for people with diabetes to a CGM data via personal website, smartwatch viewers, or apps and widgets available for smartphones (and now Garmin). See here for the full background http://www.nightscout.info/
The app is provided as-is as a goodwill gesture and has no guarantees. However, if you like the app and want to show your appreciation then feel free to do so here:

Changes:
First version released v0.1.0similar to the widget
I have released if for cycle computers as well, but can't test it, so please tell me how and whether it works.
Any issues, please post on this thread: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?332856-Nightscout-Widget-Help
and say that it is the Watch version you are having problems with.
The sitename and the units should now be set on the phone. The sitename is just the first bit of the website address.
To do this open the Garmin Connect App and in the Menu go to Garmin Devices - Choose your watch - Connect iQ Apps - Widgets - Nightscout widget.
The application requires you to have your Garmin device connected to a mobile phone running Garmin Connect, as this provides the internet connection to the NightScout website.
The graph screen displays the last 8 data points (reduced in release 0.1.0). The scale is then adjusted depending on how long a time they span, so if there are a lot of breaks then the number of hours will be high, as in my image. It you have one every 5 mins you will get a 2hr chart.
The app displays data pulled only from the specified website and displays it, it does not "do anything" with the data.
This application comes with all of the use at your own risk warnings that the full nightscout project has. That is, it must not be used to make treatment decisions, and is for information only.
Make sure you look at the CGM-Watch and CGM-Run apps as well
For people who like to 0 star apps, when they don't understand them: This is a niche app developed for a niche audience.
Finally, if you are starting the nightscout journey use a Pebble, as the apps are better, but it might affect your decision on which GPS watch.
What's new
Improved the updating to fix the issue with the data and time getting stuck.
