Glucose monitoring on a daily basis is very essential nowadays due to the rise in life style diseases like diabetes. Diabetes is a high-risk disease which can lead to high blood pressure, heart attacks, etc. This life style disease is due to the abnormal functioning of the pancreas gland.

There may be variations in sugar level due to the abnormal functioning of the pancreas gland. These variations can lead to organ damages if not properly detected. Hence, continuous monitoring of the sugar level is essential for a healthy life style.

With the advancement in technology several wearable connected devices and sensors are available in the market which can monitor glucose levels on real-time basis and update it on the connected devices.

As the sugar levels are monitored on regular basis, any rise in sugar levels can be detected early and proper action can be taken at the right time before it affects the overall health.

Hence, by the use of IoT devices, many lives can be saved and also can save hospital expenses.
