Manufacturers of these freestanding watch and ring wearables have not submitted verified data for FDA review in order to prove that these devices can accurately measure blood sugar. https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/do-not-use-smartwatches-or-smart-rings-measure-blood-glucose-levels-fda-safety-communication #wearables #glucose #smartwatches #rings #fda #warning
