[Integration Request] Enable Push of Levels Data to Apple Health | Write Levels data to Apple Health

I am not sure what this request is really asking for.
Both Libre & Dexcom, and probably all the apps that come with any of the CGMs that Levels does now or might integrate with in the future, including existing & upcoming over-the-counter CGMs, do have their own integrations with Apple Health as well as its counterpart on Android to upload the glucose readings to that system as they are measured every X minutes.
That doesn't AND shouldn't go through Levels since that would be a duplicate data issue in Apple Health etc.
If the issue is for Levels to upload timestamped meals & related stats to Apple Health etc., that would mostly depend on whether Apple Health actually has such categories that it will accept. To give an example: my smart 8-electrode dual frequency body weight scale can measure about 28 things about my body, but only about 5 of them are uploadable to Apple Health since Apple Health only has 5 of those 28 categories available for external apps to write/export to.
Similarly, Levels
could
write meal/nutrition/insight/rating stuff to Apple Health (or Android) ONLY IF they actually do offer such categories for external apps to write/export to.Of course, I am assuming that Apple/Android Health does NOT offer the ability to create custom categories. But even then, going down the route of creating non-standardized custom categories in these health databases would create its own problems. What if you have Levels and 3 other apps that calculate calories/fats/fiber/etc. for your meals, and Apple Health doesn't provide categories to upload them into, and all 4 apps create a custom category to upload each? Then you get 4 graphs for the same thing, which is completely useless.
In any case, the real solution would be to first talk to Apple to make sure Apple Health has the correct nutritional categories for all apps to upload into, and the glucose values themselves should NOT be part of that, leaving that duty to the CGMs own app.

Yes! This would be amazing for Freestyle Libre 3 users

The Dexcom app will send that information to Apple Health.

Jim White yes but Dexcom doesn't store the nutrition data

Feedback:
- Be able to write glucose levels to Apple Health. There are more and more apps now reading Apple Health and allowing correlation between sleep, exercise, etc. would be greatly enhanced with glucose data in Apple Health.
