Apple appointed a chip expert as team leader for the Apple Watch project studying noninvasive blood sugar sensors, and that's exciting.
, Apple reached a “proof-of-concept” stage with the noninvasive blood sugar monitoring hardware earlier this year. But that device is about as big as an iPhone.The way the tech would work is rather straightforward. Like other Apple Watch sensors, the blood sugar sensor would beam a laser light under the skin. This would let the sensor “read” the sugar concentration in the blood.
You currently need to use a needle, prick the skin, and then place the actual blood on a sensor that performs the blood sugar reading. This can be a tedious process that might dissuade some people with diabetes from testing their glucose consistently. Also, the invasive method doesn’t offer real-time monitoring. You’d have to wear a device against your skin for that.
