Apple is making another important innovation to make it easier for users to manage their health data. According to the latest news, Apple is working on an app that will help users, especially those diagnosed with prediabetes, improve their healthy lifestyles by tracking blood sugar levels. The new app will allow users to instantly see which foods and lifestyle choices affect blood sugar levels while tracking blood sugar levels. Here are the details…
New step from Apple for blood sugar management: Tracking prediabetes can now be easier!
In Apple’s recent tests for the app, blood tests confirmed whether employees were prediabetic. They then monitored their blood glucose levels with commercially available devices and observed the impact of the food they ate on those levels.
For example, it shows that a carbohydrate-rich meal can spike blood sugar rapidly, but balancing it with protein can make the spike milder. Although the application developed by Apple is an experiment for now, it is possible to say that it can make important contributions to future health technology developments.
It is known that Apple has previously made significant investments in health features for the Apple Watch, so it is quite possible that this data will be integrated into other devices in the future. It’s also clear that blood glucose monitoring is an increasingly important area of wearable health technologies.
For example, companies such as Dexcom and Abbott are already developing specialized devices for individuals with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetics who do not use insulin. Apple, too, has long sought to enable blood glucose monitoring with wearable devices.
Although there is still a long way to go before this application is available to all users, Apple’s health innovations are eagerly awaited by users.
