Force Webpage to Refresh on Kindle Touch

Multi tool use
I am developing a web page that needs to refresh to show my latest blood glucose levels.
This page should refresh every minute or so (at least every 5 but ideally more frequently).
I have tried using a meta refresh and a PHP header refresh and both of these work on my Kindle paperwhite but not on the Kindle touch.
I need some alternative methods - ideally one that somebody knows works or one I can try.
To give a little more context, the page gets the data via a php file_get_contents API JSON request.
Rather than refreshing the page, would I be better off forcing the PHP to run over and over on interval some how?
Thanks
