Sugar Sense - Glucose Data Field Libre Dexcom
· v1.1.0
About
See your CGM glucose without leaving your run, ride or workout. The Sugar Sense data field puts your current blood sugar, trend arrow and a compact trend graph inside any activity screen, next to pace, heart rate and time, refreshed every 5 minutes from FreeStyle Libre, Dexcom or Nightscout. It is a Connect IQ data field for runners, cyclists and other athletes with type 1 or type 2 diabetes on a continuous glucose monitor.
WORKS WITH YOUR CGM
- FreeStyle Libre 2, Libre 2 Plus, Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus via LibreLinkUp sharing
- Dexcom G6, G7 and ONE+ via Dexcom Share (any Dexcom app with the Share feature turned on)
- Nightscout sites, so any CGM that uploads to Nightscout works
WHAT YOU GET
- Zone colored glucose value and trend arrow: green in range, amber warning, red alert
- A compact 3 hour trend graph on larger field layouts
- Adapts to field size and light or dark activity backgrounds
- One pull every 5 minutes while you train, easy on your battery
- mg/dL or mmol/L, following your Sugar Sense account settings
- Values older than 15 minutes grey out, so stale data never looks live
- Built for land sports: running, cycling, hiking, strength training
- Runs on more than 75 Garmin devices, including Forerunner 165, 255, 265, 570, 955, 965 and 970, Fenix 7, 8, 9 and 9 Pro, Fenix E, Epix 2, Enduro 3, Venu 3, 4 and X1, Vivoactive 5 and 6, Instinct 3 AMOLED, MARQ 2 and Edge bike computers (540, 840, 1040, 1050, MTB, Explore 2)
SETUP IN ABOUT A MINUTE
Pairing happens right inside the field: add it to an activity layout and a short code appears in the field itself. Open the Sugar Sense app on your iPhone or Android phone and enter the code there (Settings, Integrations, Garmin Watch), or sign in at https://app.sugarsense.io/garmin in any browser. The field picks your account up automatically, nothing is typed on the watch.

QUICK ANSWERS
- Do I need my phone with me? Yes, the field receives readings through the Garmin Connect app on your phone, so keep the phone within Bluetooth range while you train.
- Does it alert during the activity? No, the field is a display. Low and high alerts stay on your phone, where the Sugar Sense app delivers them.
- Instinct 2 or Instinct 3 Solar? Their data field memory is too small, use the Sugar Sense widget there.
- Is it free? The Garmin apps are free to install. Live glucose on the watch needs Sugar Sense Premium from the phone app.
GOOD TO KNOW
Requires a free Sugar Sense account (iOS or Android) connected to a glucose source, plus Sugar Sense Premium from the phone app.
Sugar Sense on your phone is a complete diabetes companion: glucose alerts, live graph, LogBook, time in range and estimated A1C, insights, food logging and a Care Circle for family. One account puts the same reading on iPhone, Android, Apple Watch, Wear OS, Garmin, the web dashboard, the Windows system tray, the Mac menu bar, a browser extension (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and Amazon Alexa.
