Jennifer @jenshelo,
Does the Helo now actually calculate BG?
I have seen that the Helo measures many “health / activity” functions but I’ve never noticed a glucose measurement.
If it does measure glucose, does it provide a numeric value of does it sense a level change in the body? Fifteen years ago I “test drove” the GlucoWatch that sensed glucose change but I wasn’t impressed.
Is this thing (Helo blood sugar monitor) available for sale yet? My research shows “coming soon”. Do you have any idea when it will be available if it’s not already?
I’m not a child (far from it) or use a pump, but I’m very interested in invasive blood testing. I was thinking the FreeStyle Libre was for me. But if this thing is available I’m want to try it.
The most current wearable BGM being developed that I’m aware of (and I believe about to start clinical trials) is LifeLeaf by LifePlus Inc.

They had a bit of a splash in the media a couple of months ago, and I’ve been watching closely for updates, but none so far.
