Apple tests a diabetes prevention app (but apparently has no plans to release it)

Apple should finally deliver the Apple Watch Ultra 3 along with the Apple Watch Series 11 sometime this year.

Apple has been testing a health-focused app that’s aimed at diabetes prevention, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman.

Apparently, there are no plans to release the app. However, it could be used in future products as the tech giant explores products that can counter the diabetes epidemic and works on no-prick technology, Gurman says.

Apple has been working to add non-invasive blood glucose monitoring functionality to the Apple Watch. The tech giant is developing a method that uses optical absorption spectroscopy and lasers to determine the concentration of glucose in the body without puncturing the skin.
