Blood Glucose Sports Watch - Has anyone actually tried any of them?

[Guest]

I see a lot of adverts lately for non invasive blood glucose sports watch's (Note they very careful to state sports watch) Has anyone actually tried any of them, if so are they even vaguely accurate.

Obviously it would be one of dream technology solutions, if they work and then still probably years off proper medical approval.

I spoke to the libre team at the supersapien stall and they advised there will be this year a watch to view the numbers on without scanning - this is already a thing for supersapiens but she was confident it’s on the way… likely US first, then it will need to be passed by the UK approvals process…

There was a glucose sensing watch available some years ago, but you had to do a blood test to calibrate. I seem to recall that it had a disc on the back that allegedly read glucose from your perspiration. According to my DSN, they were wildly inaccurate, and quickly withdrawn from the market.

I wouldn't. They're a swizz to make money from non diabetics.
