I'm having some difficulty translating your words and acronyms but I
think I got the gist that you're type II diabetic and have bought a
watch for glucose monitoring?

I'm also a type II diabetic and am interested in glucose monitoring
but everything I have read about the watches says they are terribly
inaccurate for this. I can't even buy one here in UK because it
would be classed as a medical device, that cannot show it works for
its intended purpose; these things are therefore only available for
grey import.

So I wouldn't bother and I don't intend to help someone do such an
unwise thing even if I had the faintest idea how you would bypass
the phone pairing needs of some random IoT garbage.

As an aside, not even the 2 week sensors that impale your upper arm
and stay affixed are accurate for me, though I know they are for
most as they actually are approved. So it's daily finger prick for
me for the foreseeable.

Thanks,
Andy
