New Connect IQ app gives athletes timely glucose levels on their bike computer and wrist, allowing for real-time adjustments to sustain peak performance

Atlanta, GA, USA, June 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Supersapiens, powered by Abbott’s Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor, is announcing its initial integration of the Supersapiens Connect IQ app with Garmin®. The Supersapiens training ecosystem empowers athletes to optimize fueling, maximize training, and increase performance gains. The integration will provide select users with a compatible Garmin smartwatch or Edge® cycling computer with real-time glucose visibility allowing them to go faster longer. The Supersapiens app can be downloaded now from the Connect IQ™ store.

A partnership with global healthcare leader Abbott makes Supersapiens the only energy management ecosystem that directly integrates with a Bluetooth-enabled sports continuous glucose monitor (CGM) — the Abbott Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor. Supersapiens offers athletes access to truly meaningful and actionable glucose data with real-time glucose levels transmitted directly to their phone and now to select Garmin bike computers and smartwatches. Supersapiens’ set of data interpretation tools is leading the future of fueling, energy management, and sports performance. 

“We brought the Supersapiens app, powered by Abbott’s Libre Sense, to market six months ago with the goal of providing athletes with live visibility of their glucose levels during exercise. Announcing this Garmin integration enables Supersapiens to fulfill this promise,” says Founder and CEO Phil Southerland. “Every day since then, our customers have been asking for this amazing feature and, as a company, we are here to serve our community. It brings all of us great pride to support these athletes as they strive for their biggest goals in 2021 and beyond. Having real-time glucose visibility on Garmin bike computers and smartwatches will empower athletes to optimize their fueling during training, racing, and beyond.”

Users can now sync Garmin smartwatches and Edge cycling computers with the Supersapiens app to receive live glucose readings on their device. This, coupled with features such as Firstbeat Analytics™ enabled performance condition, ClimbPro and the ability to see additional sensor data, provides Garmin users with exceptional insight to manage their effort on a ride or run.

“We are thrilled to be the first hardware platform to offer this integration to our customers,” said Kelly Hancox, Garmin senior director of business development and strategic partnerships. “By providing athletes with this data right on their Garmin cycling computer or smartwatch, they can make more informed training decisions and in turn, take their performance to the next level.”

“Allowing athletes to have minute-by-minute fueling data during a workout on select Garmin bike computers and smartwatches helps them quickly identify the correlation between glucose levels and performance. Visibility into this data allows them to stay within their Glucose Performance Zone, which translates into more fueled training minutes, which provides bigger performance gains,” said Todd Furneaux, Supersapiens co-founder and president.

The Supersapiens ecosystem powered by Abbott’s Libre Sense is now available in Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Learn more about the full line of Supersapiens products and purchase Abbott’s biosensor at www.supersapiens.com.
