Whatever, I wish you the best, I'm done with this conversation.First you tell me the technology exists and then don’t have a company or product. Then you Google it and link a company with a website that looks like it was coded with Geocities and HTML offering a non invasive glucose monitor “product” for NON DIABETICS. Here’s a hint, non diabetics have a built in non invasive glucose monitor it’s called their pancreas. But it gets better, the same company isn’t even attempting the product in diabetics, has no FDA filings and literally doesn’t even have a pipeline lol. It’s literally a late night QVC product. To wrap this up, the technology DOES NOT exist and if it ever does it will not be by Apple and it will not be in a compact enough for for their Apple Watch. You glucose monitoring folk are so far removed from reality on this. But don’t even take my word for it - look at what Apple’s exec said on the topic “MANY YEARS”. What do you think that’s code for?
My son is a Type 1 Diabetic, and nonintrusive blood sugar testing has been a medical Holy Grail for decades... it's apparently somewhere between really difficult and almost-impossible to do with just light or other sensing technology through the skin. It's on every medical device company's radar as a huge potential market and 100's of millions of dollars have been spent pursuing it, but from what I've read, it remains elusive at all, much less in a consumer wearable format, much much less in an Apple Watch's size/weight/power budget format.I’ve said it before in other Apple Watch threads, and I’ll say it again: I really wish Apple Watches had blood sugar/A1C measuring. That would really help diabetics
Still runs great but starting to feel a bit sluggish at times.
But the Ultra needs to be slimmer, similar to S10 for wider adoption. Right now, it's like wearing a wrist clock.
Thank you. As a T1D I’ve been spamming to users on this post. It will not happen. A user above is trying to tell me the tech exists.My son is a Type 1 Diabetic, and nonintrusive blood sugar testing has been a medical Holy Grail for decades... it's apparently somewhere between really difficult and almost-impossible to do with just light or other sensing technology through the skin.

I'd love this feature also, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it, sadly.
Honestly, I don't think they would. Slow incremental upgrades is the cash cow. a 7 day battery would wipe out every apple watch purchased in the last 10 yearsDo you think that Apple is artificially restricting battery life? If they could get a 7-day runtime, don't you think they'd do that? This is a physics limit, not a business decision. The needed battery tech doesn't exist yet.
