The author's mention of the Hawthorn Effect fascinated me; I hadn't considered that with devices your care team can monitor.

It will change a lot of lives when some device that doesn't draw blood can continuously monitor glucose, like a smartwatch.

I believe we will see integrated optical glucose sensors in a popular consumer wearable fairly soon.

I don't think they'll be as accurate as blood sensors, however they will be a game-changer for many people (pre-diabetics, or gestational diabetes etc).
