"FDA Issues Warning on Smartwatch Blood Glucose Monitoring"

The FDA has warned against using smartwatches and similar devices to measure blood glucose levels, stating that they can provide inaccurate readings and potentially lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect medication dosages for conditions like diabetes. The agency emphasizes that currently, there are no certified non-invasive devices for measuring blood glucose levels, and it has only approved continuous glucose monitoring devices for this purpose. Despite efforts by companies like Apple to develop non-invasive blood glucose monitoring technology for the Apple Watch, the FDA's stance raises concerns about the accuracy and safety of such features.
