The "Tech Seven Sisters" collectively rose. Apple closed up 0.36%. A "highly confidential" blood sugar test by Apple was exposed, which may reveal the direction of Apple's future development in the health field and could assist in Apple's approximately fifteen-year-old mysterious blood sugar monitoring project. Blood sugar tracking and diet recording may be two important areas of expansion for Apple in the future, as the company explores products that can detect diabetes and attempts to independently develop needle-free blood sensors, making progress.

Industry insiders say that this technology can not only help diabetic patients monitor their conditions but also provide blood sugar advice and reminders to potential or early-stage users. Therefore, the device has a broad application prospect, and the age group covered by the Apple Watch will be greatly expanded.
