Summary

This study tests a wrist-worn device that uses light sensors and AI to estimate blood sugar without piercing the skin. Up to 100 adults with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or prediabetes will wear the device for 15 days while researchers collect data to improve its accuracy. Participants won't see their readings and will continue their usual diabetes care.
