Hello everybody, I am a mom to a T1D son (10) and looking for a standalone smartwatch that shows his bg and the option to follow his bg as a parent. I looked into the blue jay, but is it possible to receive texts and/or phone calls on this watch? He is a very active child, playing a lot of sports. Even if he has his phone next to the court, it doesn’t pick up his bg readings. Thank you for any advice! ---

The BlueJay does a very good job as acting as a standalone collector. It also does a pretty good job of transferring data to the phone when in range. Setting up the following portion on xdrip+ can be done, but I don’t have this experience directly. I know there are a few more steps involved, but I am not sure how this works. I did it once upon a time and it DID work, but I was just stumbling through it at the time, and haven’t used it in a long time.
