2. Discuss the intended purpose of the selected wearable technology.

monitor their blood sugar levels day and night and receive alerts when they are too
high or too low. Their glucose level is measured regularly—up to once every five

insights. It can also indicate the speed and direction at which their glucose is
increasing.

condition and more conscious of their own glycemic reactions. They can track how
their blood glucose levels are affected by various meals, times of day, degrees of
