I’m trying to set up this smartwatch for my mum that she got off ebay, it seems to be an F57L (doesn’t really say what company). I followed the instructions for linking it to the H Band app and setting up an account etc and it has a bunch of ‘modules’ on the main page that are to track various health markers over time, but blood-glucose isn’t there.
It has steps, heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and some other stuff, but blood glucose doesn’t show up, and I’ve seen screenshots in an article of someone else’s app and it has it there. I’ve had a look through a decent amount of the settings and can’t find it and I can’t find other people on the internet mentioning this problem either.
Many of the cheap Chinese watches share some mediocre apps, and H band is one of them. The integration is far from perfect either, with various oddeties.
But anyway most likely the BG ‘measurements’ are pure fantasy. I tried with a few different ones. Some can give the BG of a table(!) and show a nice three daily meal variation - indicating that what they report are pure fantasy, and not related to anything real. I tried one for a month or so, and got three nice daily peaks the only problem is that I practically never eat three meals a day… I even tried one of the days to eat nothing at all, only drinking water - same
damn, that’s unfortunate cause the blood-glucose thing was the main reason she got it. We’ll record measurements and compare to her actual finger-prick blood tester thing she has. Thanks for the info
It’s a SQLite database file you normally cannot see. it’s in /data/data/hband or something
Two ways to get the file, root your phone, or enable developer mode and use adb to backup the application to disk.
The file contains a tar archive inside zlib compression. I believe I used offzip to deflate the zlib archive. Next 7zip to extract the tar file. The SQLite files are in the db folder. Take your pick of tools to dump.
Automagic is abandonware (now free), available at automagic4android.com. It has a File Observer trigger you could use to monitor the directory for changes and would return a reference to the file. This may not be what you call “ready-made,” but It’s easier than writing an app, I’m pretty sure.
On the other hand I have a cheap watch that uses H Band and has a glucose report on the app. Afraid I cannot offer a suggestion for it not working. Unless in settings there is somewhere to select for glucose
