"A hidden danger on your wrist" .. An official warning from smart glucose monitoring devices.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an important warning to consumers about the proliferation of "smart" devices claiming to measure blood sugar levels without the need to prick the skin. The FDA confirmed that these devices are not officially licensed, making them a health risk to users.

Some companies market smart watches and rings claiming to measure sugar levels in a non-invasive way, but the FDA has refuted these claims and confirmed that these devices have not received official approval, meaning that the resulting readings may be inaccurate and pose a risk to patients' lives.

On the other hand, some applications in smart watches use data from subcutaneous medical devices to measure sugar levels, while devices claiming direct measurement have not been reviewed by health authorities.

The FDA pointed out that many of these devices are sold online under different brand names, often from unreliable companies. The administration is currently working to illegalize the marketing of these products, warning patients not to rely on them.

Therefore, doctors advise individuals with diabetes to rely on medically approved devices and discuss any changes in sugar monitoring methods with healthcare professionals to avoid the health risks that inaccurate devices may pose.
