The FDA just killed the blood glucose dream for smartwatches and rings: zero devices are authorized for non-invasive measurement, which means any Oura Ring 3, Garmin Fenix 8 Pro, or Apple Watch Ultra claiming glucose tracking is pure marketing. For fitness tech enthusiasts actually monitoring blood sugar, you’re not getting that from a wrist wearable—yet.
