Introducing Blood Pressure & Sugar Tracker - a great assistant to help you easily track your blood pressure and track blood sugar levels. This app is designed to record blood pressure data and record blood sugar levels at home. This Blood Pressure & Sugar Tracker app features an intuitive interface that supports recording the monitoring results of vital body indicators of activities and fitness, including blood sugar and blood pressure levels, helping users better understand and manage the BP aspects of their health records.

I participated in a clinical trial of a system to read blood sugar levels through the skin. Nothing came of it, nor of any other such systems and devices. This one is completely bo-o-o-o-ogus.

I wasn't able to see if this even actually worked, because every time you click on anything, you get several minutes worth of ads. the add shows taking a simple picture of your wrist to find out rough estimates, but when I finally got to the screen for blood sugar, clicking on anything got me, you guessed it, several more ads. maybe this app is phenomenal, but you can't actually use it unless you buy the premium version.

Ad was misleading and claimed to be able to read blood sugar and pressure just by putting the phones camera up to my wrist. I knew this couldn't be possible, so I clicked on it and downloaded, and, as usual, I was right. The app, in fact, offered no such feature, and only keeps track of information that you manually input.

What a joke of an app. After it opens, you make the selections that are supposed to get you to the measurement and tracking functions, but all it does is show ads that you can't click out of. Google seriously needs to start letting us rate things at 0 stars, because that's what you actually deserve.
