If they call them novelty devices in print. Or say they are accurate less than x% of the time. They are absolved of guilt. A good reason to read the fine print mentioned.
This is accurate less than 17% of the time when used for general health accessment. Probably almost never accurate for blood glucose measurement.
I tried it this morning. It said my skin age is 35. My BMI is 22.1, my pulse 69, BP 109/65
I am 73, my BMI is 28, my pulse 44, my BP 124/80.
It determines this by a face scan.
I didn't ask for anything else. I refused to pay. And deleted the app.
Not accurate at all.
My youngest son is terrified of needles. He wants to buy a device that goes on the end of your finger like an oximeter, that is supposed to test bs. I told him if he bought something like that I would bust it as they aren't accurate.

Thank you Hkc

It is pseudo-science at best.

You will die if you use it for treatment decisions. Especially If you are on insulin or sulfonureas.
Do not believe anything it tells you.
