It sometimes drops out to —, but my big complaint is that it will lag quite a bit, sometimes as much as 10 minutes. This is not really acceptable when doing high aerobic exercise. As far as I know, and unless they have recently changed it, Garmin did not connect directly to the Dex, it needed to go through the share server. So if you were in the mountains and did not have internet connectivity, or lost connectivity, you would not get your numbers. That might also explain the delay you are seeing. > [@CarlosLuis](#): > > Something I would like is for the BG readings to be recorded in Garmin Connect just like speed, heart rate, cadence and power. This way you could see possible correlations between power output and BG. You can do that with Training Peaks. Here is a reference link from a few years ago. > [@Training Peaks shows CGM data](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/training-peaks-shows-cgm-data/2889): > > Training Peaks is an online training application used by athletes and coaches. There is a somewhat unknown (and not well-documented) feature that Training Peaks has. It lets you populate your Dexcom CGM data into your workout.

So you can see it all on the same graph - power, speed, heart rate, elevation, CGM, cadence. (_The cool thing is, if you Google “CGM data in training peaks”, FUD is the first link that Google shows._ 😉 ) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/review-article-on-smartwatches/12627)._
