This Patch has a small piece of “string” inside you arm and is reading your blood by being in direct contact with your blood.

It actually inserts a small electrode into the subcutaneous layer under your skin and runs the test on a schedule by passing an electrical current through the electrode and measuring the resistance.

Similar to a glucose monitor test strip, but with the fluid still in the body.

If they can do this without the poke, would be a game changer.

Btw, you still get the “not intended for medical decisions” warning with the dexcom and libre cgm’s

Yea exactly. Not sure if this watch gizmo does that, but was just replying to the other dude. I suppose I misconstrued needing blood flowing out your finger to “blood present”
