Apple doesn't talk about unannounced products, so I doubt Tim would comment on something in development. He likely was wearing a Dexcom G5, which works with Apple Watch and has been around for a while. My guess is he was using it to understand CGMs, which is something Apple hopes to replicate, judging from the rumor mill. But the Dexcom CGM is invasive, if only minimally—an electrical wire the width of two human hairs is inserted into your skin. It connects to a transmitter that sends the results to your iPhone and Apple Watch. With any luck, what Apple is developing is a non-invasive sensor, although I find this unlikely—if the technology were available, you can bet it would be coming from major CGM players like Dexcom or Medtronic that have been doing this stuff for more than 10 years. That Apple could leapfrog them with a non-invasive sensors seems highly unlikely...but we diabetics can hope. And no Mick Mulvaney, I did not develop diabetes because I was a person who "who sits home, drinks sugary drinks, doesn’t exercise, eats poorly, and gets diabetes." I got it at the age of 14 in the middle of cross-country season.
