While it would be a game-changer if the Apple Watch could read blood sugar levels on its own, users can officially experience the next best thing. Dexcom, one of the leading continuous blood glucose monitoring systems for diabetes management, announced that data collected from its latest-generation monitoring device can now sync directly with Apple Watch.
Previously, users needed their iPhone nearby in order for their Apple Watch to display accurate reading information. In other words, glucose levels from a Dexcom G7 would relay first to the Dexcom iPhone app before syncing with the Apple Watch version of app. With this new Direct to Apple Watch feature, the same Dexcom monitor can transmit blood sugar readings via Bluetooth to users' wrists more seamlessly, cutting out the middle man.
