WSJ - A Glucose Monitor for Someone Without Diabetes: Optimal or Overkill?

The latest smart wearable got under my skin.

Two weeks ago, I used an applicator with an intimidating needle to lodge a tiny wire into the back of my arm. Since then, the sensor has sent my blood-sugar levels to my phone every 15 minutes.

The high-tech patch is a continuous glucose monitor—well-known by people with diabetes, but now available to others. Stelo by Dexcom DXCM -0.30%decrease; red down pointing triangle was the first over-the-counter monitor approved by the Food and Drug Administration last year. Abbott’s Lingo is another option. Both are for adults who don’t take insulin, and part of a growing slate of sensors for health-curious people.
