Good Evening. Thank You For The Add.I've Seen A Lot Of Ads Regarding Blood Glucose Measuring With A New Type Of Smart Watch.
This doesn't look like it can be possible without measuring an blood sample. Do any of you have experience with the smart watch technology? Is this reliable, or is this more of a sales gimmick?
Good morning from South Jersey warriors.
The technology has not received approval by any country in the world because of the inaccuracies. A cgm is less accurate than a finger stick and this tecnology is significantly less accurate than a cgm. But lack of approvals and inaccuracies does not stop China from producing them.
We have tried 2 separate blood glucose smart watches for a week between my Bride and me.
They can show trends, but are quite inaccurate. My Bride is not diabetic.
I keep my numbers in a very tight range, TITR. My numbers are 5.7(103) to 7.5(135). Both smart watches report numbers from 2.7 to 8.8. In fact I can take 2 readings within a minute and one can read 3.3 and the next 6.8, but the readings are usually within 1 mmol/L. It only reads in mmol/L
But the blood pressure was somewhat more static and closer to being accurate. It almost always reads about 120/80, whether my bp is 115/75 (medicated) or 150/100 (unmedicated).
The pulse rate, pulse Ox, and body temperature were spot on.
I haven't tried the ecg yet.
The larger one is easier to use and has a nicer display.
Do they have useful information - Yes. Is the data they provide other than blood glucose useful, somewhat yes.
Is the blood glucose numbers useful. Yes and No.
For a nondiabetic with a self correcting system, probably.
For a diabetic, who will make treatment decisions based on the information --- a definitive NO. They are still just a novelty.
They can be dangerous.
I was wondering about this myself
