If a diabetic receives a warning that he is hyperglycemic, it means that his blood sugar is too high and he can damage his organs such as his eye, kidneys, and heart. A hypoglycemic alert indicates that the diabetic has low blood sugar and is in danger of passing out and going into a coma unless a sugary drink or candy bar can be consumed to hike the diabetic’s blood sugar.

On Thursday, during a Samsung Health forum in San Jose, Senior Vice President Hon Pak said that Samsung was making progress with the development of the non-invasive glucose monitor and said that if Samsung can nail the technology, its non-invasive blood glucose system for the Galaxy Watch will be “a game changer.”
“What I’m really excited about is our team, as you may have assumed, we are working on a noninvasive optically-based continuous glucose monitor. I can’t tell you the time [of the launch], but I’m very excited about the progress we are making, and this, if we do it right, will be a game-changer.”-Hon Pak SVP, Samsung.
Apple and Samsung are in a battle to see which one has their non-invasive glucose technology running on their smartwatch first. Whichever one manages to have their technology running on their smartwatch ahead of the other should reap the benefits of increased smartwatch sales. After all, there are several million insulin-dependent diabetics who need their blood sugars monitored multiple times a day and this number is growing.
