Samsung Health & Glucose Monitors

[Warlozo]

I've posted a few times asking if Samsung can support the likes of Freestyle Fibre and Dexcom sensors 

I found an app called Health Connect and that now shows up inside my Dexcom app under connections, I just had to give it permissions 

It's a Google app, here is the link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.healthdata

Install it and just allow it the permissions required 

So thought I'd share incase anyone else didn't know this was available ( also links to Samsung Health ) only thing I'd like is if I could see my Bloods on my Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra but I need again a separate app called Gluroo which I honestly don't wanna use and grant it my login details to Dexcom

Hi.

Would appreciate if you could post more details about this stuff and apps used etc.

And maybe how you use them with the Samsung phone.

A man is not getting any younger. Good to know ones options 😊

It's as easy as above

Install the Google app Health Connect and off you go 🙂

Excellent, thank you, I am still holding out for SHEALTH and the Watch range to offer it as a function I believe they have patented.

[Warlozo]

Would be nice lol

But as a stepping stone this works 🙂

It also adds logs into Dexcom if your steps etc too if you so wish it

Health Connect is an Android service to facilitate sharing of health-related data between apps, similar to Apple Health on iOS. Actually, it has been part of Android since version 14, so if your Samsung device runs One UI 6 or newer there is no need to install the Health Connect app from Google Play, see also https://support.google.com/android/answer/14119325?hl=en. You can access it directly from your phone settings:

Settings -> Security and privacy -> More privacy settings ->Health Connect.

For easier access I created a shortcut on my home screen (can be enabled with Registar from Good Lock).

Anyway, that's great that Dexcom supports Health Connect. The Freestyle Libre app unfortunately does not, at least when I tried it out a few months ago.

Yeah so I've found

But when I asked in the past about integration for Freestyle Libre / Dexcom no one mentioned it

Shame if it doesn't work for FSL though
