Rumor has it that the Apple Watch Series 13 could become the first wearable from Apple to incorporate blood glucose monitoring capabilities by 2027. Apple has been diligently developing this feature for several years, with whispers of its impending arrival surfacing as early as the launch of the Apple Watch Series 7.

Should the Apple Watch Series 13 indeed introduce blood glucose monitoring, it would offer diabetics a significantly more convenient health monitoring solution.
