This PDF has some test results and a more detailed description of the technology and science of the device. The article does not seem to reference it, so it was probably posted to the campaign after the article was written.

The PDF doesn't actually describe the technology or science as far as I can see. It does include quite a lot of handwaving. There are tables of results, but none independently verified.

From what I can tell, it all comes down to whether its claim to use impedance at different frequencies to measure blood glucose levels. There's no indication that this is possible. There's a lot of talk about secret algorithms, but algorithms are only as good as the data they can be fed.
