bet marathoners and ultra runners will start using this to improve performance

(don't have a problem with that, but it's predictable)

too bad it's not "wearable" like a watch but that might be coming eventually too since Garmin has a patent on it

(btw Fenix 9 launched today but it's same hardware as Fenix 8 and no glucose feature)

Automated glucose control will be the next frontier in so many areas of healthcare. I'm still skeptical that anyone will be able to noninvasively and accurately sense blood sugar, but I'm glad people (especially kids with T1) will have one more tool to help them. I hope they can figure out the reimbursement side to get it into the most hands possible!

I thought this was going to be a non-invasive sugar-level device, but it looks like in fact the innovation here is that a popular CGM line can now do ketones?

Looked after my son who has T1D for now 5 years, checked keytones maybe 20 times. Compared to blood glucose which we check look at every 5 minutes.

Maybe this is more for Type 2 or other diabetes, or for people prone to DKA. Or it is for people with a working pancreas who think looking at their blood sugars (and now keytones) tells them something like soothsayers reading tea leaves

What about all the other wearable sensors like
