According to ET News, it states that both the Apple Watch Series 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 will be able to measure blood sugar when each makes its official launch this year.

“Not only Samsung Electronics, but also Apple is applying the blood glucose measurement function to the Apple Watch 7 which will be introduced this year. With the related patent technology secured, it is focusing on ensuring reliability and stability before putting the technology available.”
