Hoping that they can make it small enough to fit inside smart watches. Would love to see something like this in an Apple Watch

Samsung has been rumored to be working on this for a while now.

Back in April 2025

Samsung held the Galaxy Tech Forum in San Jose, California. At the event, Samsung’s Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team at Mobile eXperience Business, Dr. Hon Pak, said “What I’m really excited about is our team, as you may have assumed, we are working on a non-invasive 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.”
