If Apple comes up with a sugar measurement then it will make it a billionaire if it is reliable. (In the world, in 2019, approximately 463 million adults (20-79 years) were living with diabetes; by 2045 this will rise to 700 million. The proportion of people with type 2 diabetes is increasing in most countries. 79% of adults with diabetes were living in low- and middle-income countries.2.12.2020 It is estimated that every year there are about a million cases of type 2 diabetes per day.). Good luck but apple. You should develop this part if you want to get rich. Samsung is already ahead of about 50% in this regard.

There’s no way the watch would be able to test your blood glucose levels without inserting a cannula into your skin. And the wrist would not be a good place to put it. I have a dexcom and there is no way they would be able to fit all that’s needed in a Apple Watch.

These are half-baked solutions that don't give you official health data - even the SPO2 that exists on so many watches is still a mess even on the most expensive watches.

Madhan, 04 May 2021I'm wondering how it detects blood sugar Those who are wondering how non invasive Blood glucose monitor works - it transmits a very low power microwave pulse into your blood stream. the glucose molecules in your blood reflects this microwave, and a sensor in the watch detects it.

Madhan, 04 May 2021I'm wondering how it detects blood sugar Just as one would in a doctor's surgery. Hence one simply urinates on the iWatch and it then identifies the presence of glucose in the urine droplets.

Its very amazing ,but Apple has been very famous for overpricing its products. Apple always sells most of its items at 15-20 times the manufacturing cost. Its manufacturing cost were leaked by its Chinese manufacturing partners.
Although its impressive to see apple bring great innovations in watches and phones. If Apple sell it at high price, the other companies do reverse engineer and make cheaper copies.
So thanks to apple, even if we could not afford it , we just need to wait some time and we will get similar product from some other company at lesset price.
