- [xDrip+](../Configuration/xdrip.md) in follower mode (mainly BG values and **alarms**)
- [Sugarmate](https://sugarmate.io/) or [Spike](https://spike-app.com/) on iOS (mainly BG values and **alarms**)

## Smartwatch options

A smartwatch can be a very useful tool in helping manage AAPS with kids. A couple of different configurations are possible:

- If NSClient is installed on the parents phone, the [NSClient WearOS app](https://github.com/nightscout/AndroidAPS/releases/) can be installed on a compatible smartwatch connected to the parent's phone. This will show current BG, loop status and allow carb entry, temp targets and profile changes. It will NOT allow bolusing from the WearOS app.
- Alternatively, the [AAPS WearOS app](https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration/Watchfaces.html) can be built and installed on a compatible smartwatch, connected to the kid's phone but worn by the parent. This includes all the functions listed above as well as the ability to bolus insulin. This allows the parent to adminster insulin without needing to remove the kid's phone from however it is kept on them.

## Things to consider

- Setting the correct [treatment factors](FAQ-how-to-begin) (basal rate, DIA, ISF...) is difficult for kids, especially when growth hormones are involved.
