This is a really cool project. Your post is the first time I am seeing the figures on how much others also hate CGM notifications.

I have been working on software for the G1 headset to display glucose data without any audible alarms, just a visual notification.

The issues I run into are:

* Dexcom sensors have limited Bluetooth connections (with pump support), so I need to pull data from a phone.

* Battery life (I can get 9 hours maybe with a not always on display, a far cry from 6 days).

* xDrip gets readings slower than directly from dexcom.

* General UI edge cases for missed readings.

Thank you for sharing your work, it's validation that others are experiencing this problem and maybe my visual solution will be useful to others (and a watch/audible/haptic device also might be a good complement to what I have now, my solution is not supposed to be the only way to get CGM data.) https://github.com/ltomes/rel-a/tree/feature/xDrip
