Apple Watch health tracking
On Wednesday, the FDA released a statement warning patients against using smart rings and smartwatches that claim to measure blood glucose levels non-invasively, citing fears of inaccuracy. It suggests that patients do not buy devices for this purpose and instead continue to use traditional devices that require a patient to prick their skin.
And the FDA makes a good point — individuals with diabetes rely heavily on accurate blood glucose measurements to manage their condition. However, if these measurements are incorrect, it can lead to serious errors in diabetes management.
