inb4 apple watch integration

I'll be buying that apple watch if it ever gets here

(There is already an app to show on the watch, but you still need the phone in the loop - this is directly to the watch without the phone.)

Dexcom already has an integration; are you talking about hardware?

Yeah, it would be great if the watch could just do this for you, instead of needing to buy a new sensor every 14 days.

Based on everything I've seen so far, the technology for non-invasive glucose monitoring is still far away. Recently, the FDA even released a warning that any companies claiming they could are misleading people [1][2].

Don't get me wrong; I have had T1D for 30+ years and would love to have reliable, non-invasive, glucose monitoring on my wrist.

We've come so far already from a finger stick that would take 2 minutes to get a result. Have hope :-)
