Small wearable devices that track blood sugar levels are growing in popularity among the health-conscious – but they may not be particularly accurate for people without diabetes, a new study has found.
Many people with diabetes use continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) – small devices that are often fitted to the back of the arm or the abdomen – to track their blood sugar levels. These devices send real-time data to a mobile app, giving people insight into how their glucose levels rise or fall throughout the day.
