Glucose Level Monitoring

Thinking of getting a smart watch for BP and blood sugar monitoring for use when out and about. Are they any good? I am taking Bempedoic Acid 10mg, Clopidogel 75mg and Gliclazide 80mg.

I have had one for a while now and found it to be no where near accurate for Blood Glucose. When compared to my meter Blood pressure Heart Rate etc don't seem to bad

Hi AlchemyBob, For what it's worth my diabetic nurse told me that in her opinion these smart watches were virtually useless for the monitoring of blood glucose levels. As it happens, I don't even have a smart 'phone, and am a bit of a technophobe in general, so wouldn't have considered using one in the first place!!

All good wishes,

Smart watches can be pretty awesome for keeping track of your BP and blood sugar levels while you're out and about. They come in handy for quick and easy monitoring, so I reckon they're definitely worth considering. Just make sure to double-check if your specific meds might affect anything, ya know? Keep on keepin' healthy!
