I mountain bike with a diabetic friend who uses a TSlim insulin pump to monitor blood/sugar levels.
He has to stop and fish this device out of his pocket in order to see how his levels are doing.

He has been able to link the TSlim to his iPhone to read the numbers but it occurs to me that he may be able to link it also to his Garmin Forerunner 45 smart watch. That would be far less disruptive to his ride.

I have no knowledge of smart watches so am asking if anyone here knows whether this sort of link up is possible?
If not achievable directly, might it be possible to get the feed second-hand through a link to his iPhone?

It won't be possible. The manufacturer would need to develop a Garmin Connect IQ App to bring the data from the TSlim app into Garmin Connect and from there to a custom data field on his watch. The only CGM that currently does that is the Dexcom G6/G7

And on top of that, I don’t think the Forerunner 45 supports connect iq apps other than watch faces.

OK. Thanks for that.
We'll proceed with plan one, which was to mount his phone (which does have a TSlim link) onto his handlebars with a QuadLock.
