Apple Watch
Start Live on your iPhone and your glucose shows in your Apple Watch Smart Stack. Your Apple Watch workouts and nights come into Ando with your glucose on top. Libre, Dexcom, Medtronic, Medtrum or Nightscout.
On your wrist
When you start Live on your iPhone, Ando shows your glucose as a Live Activity: on the lock screen, in the Dynamic Island and, with iOS 18, in your Apple Watch Smart Stack. Raise your wrist for your latest reading, its trend arrow and how long ago it was taken.
Through Apple Health
Ando reads the workouts and sleep your Apple Watch records in Apple Health, in the background. Each workout gets its glucose curve from before the start to an hour after, with time in range and average. Each night gets your deep, light and REM sleep next to your overnight glucose.
Set it up
In Ando, connect your Dexcom, FreeStyle Libre, Medtronic, Medtrum or Nightscout. Our guides show every tap.
Let Ando read your workouts and sleep, so your Apple Watch sessions and nights arrive on their own.
Tap Live on the home screen and pick one, two or four hours. Your glucose appears on your lock screen and in your watch’s Smart Stack.
What shows where
| Where | What you see |
|---|---|
| Apple Watch Smart Stack | Glucose, trend arrow and time since the reading, while Live runs |
| iPhone lock screen | Glucose, trend arrow, time since the reading and the last six hours |
| Dynamic Island | Glucose and arrow; press and hold for the change and a mini curve |
| Ando app | Every workout and night from Apple Health, with its glucose curve and stats |
More about the lock screen and Dynamic Island on the Live page, and about your nights on the sleep page.
FAQ
Not on its own. An Apple Watch does not measure glucose. It can show the readings of a CGM sensor you wear, such as a Dexcom or a FreeStyle Libre, through apps like Ando.
Yes. Connect your Libre to Ando through LibreLinkUp, then start Live on your iPhone. With iOS 18 or later, your glucose shows in your Apple Watch Smart Stack.
They work the same way. Live shows the glucose of any sensor Ando supports: Dexcom G7, G6 and ONE+, FreeStyle Libre 2 and 3, Medtronic Simplera and Guardian, Medtrum TouchCare Nano and Nightscout. Some sensor makers also offer their own Apple Watch apps for some sensors and countries; Ando works alongside them.
No. Live runs on your iPhone as a Live Activity, and watchOS shows it in the Smart Stack. There is no separate watch app or complication to set up.
Live Activities on the Apple Watch Smart Stack need iOS 18 or later on your iPhone and a watch on watchOS 11 or later. Ando’s Live on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island runs on iPhone.
Yes, through Apple Health. Ando reads your workouts and your sleep stages, in the background, and lines each one up with your glucose.
Live runs on your iPhone and your watch mirrors it, so keep your watch connected to your iPhone. Your iPhone also needs to be online to receive new readings.
