[Diabetes-Talk] Non-invasive blood sugar measurement from Apple supplier Rockley.

[Gary-melconian]

I think once this technology has been developed in improved from the 
version of version. I imagine that all watch makers will have this 
technology in their watches will it be Samsung apple or any other watch 
manufacturer that does smartwatches. So I would not be surprised that in 
due time we will get some type of innovative future like this down the road.
