  Not necessarily. See section on non-invasive methods: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7731259/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7731259/

  Believe they acquired a company that did it via light, hence the belief that it is coming.

  It's apparently doable optically, similarly to blood oxygen, albeit much more challenging. There's an actual product out for it from one of Apple's suppliers, even: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/07/14/apple-supplier-launches-non-invasive-glucose-monitor-health-sensor-tech https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/07/14/apple-supplier-la...
