Nightscout
Connect your Nightscout site and Ando puts the glucose you already upload, from any sensor, on every workout, every Strava post and every night, and live on your watch when it matters.
What Ando adds to your Nightscout
Every workout
Ando reads your entries from your own site and lines them up with every workout from Garmin, Apple Health, Strava, WHOOP, Oura or Fitbit. Each one gets its curve from before the start to an hour after, with time in range and average.
On your wrist
The Ando Glucose data field shows your Nightscout glucose on a Garmin during workouts and charts it in Garmin Connect. Live puts it on your iPhone lock screen and Apple Watch, or in an Android notification that reaches Galaxy and Pixel watches.
Strava and nights
Each Strava activity gets a glucose block with time in range, average, minimum and maximum. Each night, your sleep stages from your watch or ring sit next to your overnight curve.
Connect your Nightscout
Ando reads your site the way any follower app would. Private sites work too.
Make sure your Nightscout URL opens in a browser and shows recent readings.
Use your API secret, or create a read-only token in Nightscout’s Admin Tools. A read token is the cleanest choice.
Choose Nightscout, paste your site URL and the secret or token. Ando fetches the last 36 hours straight away.
Ando stores your URL and your secret or token encrypted, and talks to your site the way Nightscout expects: a hashed API secret, or your token. It only reads entries, never writes to your site. You can paste your URL with or without https:// and with a ?token= at the end; Ando tidies it up.

FAQ
Any sensor whose readings reach your Nightscout site. If your site shows the readings, Ando can read them.
Either works. A read-only token, created in Nightscout’s Admin Tools, is the cleanest choice because it can only read.
Yes. Ando authenticates with your secret or token, so sites that deny anonymous reading work too.
Yes. The Ando Glucose data field shows it on a Garmin during workouts, and Live shows it on your iPhone lock screen and Apple Watch Smart Stack.
Ando can only read what has reached your site. If your uploader is offline or paused, readings arrive late or not at all; once it catches up, Ando fills in the gap.
