As suggested by @paulplant in #479, we might consider porting the Contact Trick used by OpenGlück in xDrip4iOS.

This trick allows to update the photo of a contact, so that its profile picture matches the current BG. This, in turn, can be used on Apple Watch to provide near-realtime update of the current BG, without usual WidgetKit restrictions.

I've been playing with this this weekend (mostly copying things around to add new settings to the app and "copying" things from OpenGlück) and I think I got it working:

I'll close this as an issue as we are now tracking it directly in a PR -> #505
