non-invasive blood glucose monitoring smartwatch, they exist now? Or scam?

Revolutionizing Health Monitoring: The Smart Watch That Keeps You in Check

Sorry about the crazy link, it's an ad link.

I thought that non-invasive (no need to prick finger to touch actual blood) was the holy grail of blood glucose monitoring. Have they solved this problem already in cheap health watches?

Not following that insane paragraph long adlink. That's the best example of smart watch glucose monitoring you could find?

Bottom line. It's a scam right now. They all fail spectacularly. What it appears that most of them do, is have a table for time of day, and what typical blood glucose is at that time. There are no readings...

The thing that works are those continuous glucose monitors where you stick a flat circular thing into your arm.

The human body really ought to have evolved by now to have a "status display" that automatically displays your current blood-sugar, blood-pressure, heart-rate, and so on.

If my PC can beep at me or flash LEDs at me to tell me what hardware fault is stopping it from booting, why can't the human body do something similar?

You mean yours doesn't?

As my last blood test said I was right on the cusp of being diagnosed with "pre-diabetes" (and two close relatives have now been diagnosed with actual diabetes) I really wish it did.

Something like "CPUID's hardware monitor" would be handy, instead of having to persuade the GP to agree to blood tests then going and being jabbed with needles every now and then (getting blood tests itself requires a four-mile walk to where they take bloods).

Meanwhile am following pretty much the same diet as my actually diabetic relatives, and hoping things improve.

Maybe one day there will be an implant with RFID that will monitor all this stuff?

While they're at it, they could add a basic logic core so that people could be more easily predictable.
