Right now I'm being absolutely bombarded with adverts for non-invasive blood sugar testing by devices that either resemble a wristwatch or are similar in appearance to a blood oxygen saturation monitor. Right now I have Abbott Freestyle blood sugar monitors but my Endocrinologist is going to be banned from prescribing them as she has been prescribing them when she shouldn't; thus I am looking for something to replace that.

Does anyone have any experience of these devices - are they accurate do they work at all?
 
I always say to people looking at these type of devices, that if the likes of Apple and Samsung haven’t come up with a reliable non invasive blood sugar tester, then these adverts are almost certainly too good to be true.
 
@paulos There was a scam alert over here in Canada about those devices. People are buying them thinking they are buying this new prick free blood sugar monitor only to find out they bought an Oximeter finger monitor which is a fraction of the cost.

These adverts keep popping up every so often. There are a number of threads on here about them already - I'll see if I can find one.

The usual answer is that if the tech worked, the big boys would already be selling it: that there is at present no known non-invasive way to measure BG; and if this advice proves wrong, to please come back and tell everyone. Nobody (since Dec 2019, when I joined the forum) has ever done so.
 
here's a similar thread from last year:

Uh.. I disagree With Antje77, but I appreciate this is VERY NEW. Vitanix apparently does! No idea how good it is yet, Smart Watch 9. I own one, and not only does it do Blood Glucose, it does Blood Pressure and Fats too! I've had all of 60 mins figuring stuff out. So your mileage may vary. Download the App from the Google Play Store to get going quickly. Everything starts out in Chinese! The HaFit app handles that for you.

I'm afraid I'm agree with Antjee77

There are a load of these watches which claim to do this but when tested they are either so inaccurate as to be worse...
