Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a noninvasive way to assess diabetes risk using wearable technology.
The method utilizes continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices to track blood sugar levels in real time throughout the day.
The CGM-based marker called AC_Var closely matched the disposition index, a predictor of future diabetes risk.
The combination of AC_Var and glucose standard deviation outperformed traditional blood-based tests in identifying people at risk of developing diabetes.
