FDA warning about smartwatch blood sugar measurements makes me hopeful about the Apple Watch
I'm an Apple Watch user who relies on Apple's wearable to monitor health parameters and keep track of my fitness routines with a specific focus on running. As such, I'm looking forward to two particular features that Apple has been developing for years. These are blood pressure and blood sugar sensors that routinely pop up in rumors detailing the future of the Apple Watch.
I've written extensively on why such sensors would be so important. The blood glucose sensor is the most exciting of the two. I think the ability to measure blood sugar levels non-invasively would be a game-changer feature. It wouldn't just help current people with diabetes, as it might help detect the onset of diabetes early.
There's no development on that, certainly not something that Apple would announce during this time of year. But the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just issued a warning against the purchase of current wearable devices that claim they can offer blood sugar readings without a blood sample. It's a warning that actually gives me great hope for the future of the Apple Watch.
