Could Sweat Replace Fingersticks? The Race to Build Truly Needle-Free Glucose Monitoring

Wearable sweat glucose sensor patch on a person's upper arm displaying real-time glucose monitoring data through a connected smartphone, illustrating future needle-free diabetes technology.

For millions of people living with diabetes, checking blood sugar remains a daily routine that often involves fingersticks or wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with a tiny sensor inserted beneath the skin. Although CGMs have dramatically improved diabetes management, many people still hope for a truly needle-free alternative. That …

Are Wearables Redefining Prediabetes — or Over-Medicalizing It?

Person using wearable glucose monitoring technology and smartphone app to track metabolic health and prediabetes risk

Prediabetes has traditionally been diagnosed during annual physical exams through fasting glucose tests or A1C measurements. However, new diabetes prevention tools and wearable technologies are rapidly changing that model. Today, wearable devices, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), and predictive metabolic tracking tools are giving people real-time insight into their glucose patterns …
