Glucose levels support
Hello u/COROS-official!
I have a question on behalf of fellow diabetics. I'm about to buy new watch and Coros is tempting me over Garmin. But since I'm diabetic, I need a support for streaming glucose levels from phone to watch like WearOS or Garmin have.
Is there a chance that you will add a support for https://github.com/nightscoutfoundation/xdrip or https://github.com/pachi81/GlucoDataHandler or any other streaming service?
Cheers!

I don't think most watch manufacturers are particularly interested in supporting third-party glucose streaming services.
Many of these integrations are actually developed by users or independent developers who discover available interfaces and share their knowledge or create their own solutions, such as WatchDrip for Amazfit and Mi Bands.
Even for Garmin, many solutions are developed by independent developers who create watch faces or apps that retrieve glucose data via web services rather than through official support from Garmin.
So, instead of relying on official support from the watch manufacturers, it is often the community that develops these solutions. If manufacturers decide to support glucose monitoring, they will probably offer their own official and potentially more closed solutions.
You can check GitHub to see whether someone has already developed a solution for COROS watches, but unfortunately, I wouldn't expect one to exist yet.
You could also start a GitHub Discussion for xDrip and ask whether anyone is interested in developing support for COROS watches: https://github.com/NightscoutFoundation/xDrip/discussions

Don’t have diabetes myself, but I support this request!
