A new leak reveals that Apple has been testing a secret app with employees to understand how food impacts blood sugar levels. The new food-logging tool is designed to help one make better dietary choices and can be especially useful in people with prediabetes.
Apple’s approach involves having employees track their food intake and blood sugar levels to see how specific foods affect glucose. The idea is to use this data to help users avoid diabetes by identifying which foods lead to blood sugar spikes.
With diabetes becoming a major health concern worldwide, such a tool could be an important step in helping people manage their diet and stay healthy.
Apple health features
In recent years, Apple has introduced several health-focused features. For example, the new edition of its smartwatch has sleep apnea recognition features, and AirPods Pro 2 offers audio features more relevant to a hearing health device.
Another new product that Apple has been developing is the non-invasive glucose sensor, which would be fitted into the Apple Watch; however, due to technical aspects, this feature is also not available soon. Its development took more than ten years due to issues about size and overheating during the time when it was experimented on.
If Apple has this feature developed, it might offer users diet suggestions for their day-to-day activities to help prevent diabetes due to such food intake.
However, like many Apple projects, it’s possible that this feature may not become available to the public unless it meets the company’s high standards.
