Fitbit App Gets a New Feature That Allows Users to Keep Track of Blood Glucose Levels

News 18  

American wearable maker FitBit has announced a new feature for its app to all users in the United States. This is a software-based feature and FitBit devices aren’t equipped with the technology that can read blood glucose levels directly. Fitbit, in a blog post said that the new feature is being added so that users can more easily track how their blood glucose levels change and how they are impacted by everything – from food to sleep to other lifestyle choices. The new feature will allow Fitbit users to either manually input their blood glucose levels or connect their OneTouch Reveal app from LifeScan, which will automatically import that information. Fitbit notes that the new blood glucose feature on the app is not a replacement for medical advise, nor should it be used to diagnose or treat any medical condition.
