I am a diabetic II. My HMO gives me blood monitoring equipment and supplies. In several years I have never been able to figure out what makes by blood sugar jump around. In particular, what makes it drop so suddenly through the safe area to low. A wearable nonintrusive glucometer would perhaps extend my life for several years. I am compulsive and non-suicidal. I couldn't eat if I measured high. I would instantly take a glucose table if I were low.
I just hope the watch design is not so obvious that the wearer is treated as disabled.
For many diabetics the watch will cost little or nothing. It will be helpful. It will encourage adherence to treatment regimes. It will extend many lives, IMO.
