Type 1 requires much more immediate attention. Type 2, not so much.

Yeah. Coming from someone who was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome in the past, I’d say treatment for type 2 is easier than type 1. Type 2 is reversible with lifestyle changes and medications like Metformin whereas Type 1 typically needs daily insulin injections plus other meds.

Apple Watch is apparently almost at the point that it can accurately detect diabetes using neural networks and it’s existing sensors. 

I’m sorry to burst your bubble but 85% is by no means considered high enough to be accepted as a medical device for detecting diabetes. The gold standard in testing diabetes is still measuring Fasting Blood Sugar and HbAc1.

I like the older iPhones a lot more tbh. New ones don't fit well in a hand, but these curvy boiis fitt very well.

Also Apple watches are really thicc. Chunky, but funky. Next Apple Watch I get i'll buy when they slim them down haha.

I'd love if the Apple Watch had the styling of an iPhone 5......I'd also love an iPhone that has the styling of the 5 (but bigger).

Talk the XDA community into porting iOS to the Note 4, and see if a machine shop will make you a custom metal backplate with 'iNote 4.'

Its not meant to be a medical device. Its a consumer electronics device. Its just able to be used in a way that lets it track and identify certain medical items.

How are current iPhones not at least bulky? 

 

Also if they went thinner everyone would complain about the battery life. 

 

Regardless of the design of the Apple Watch (which I actually think is great), its still the best smartwatch.

Not really, especially with the Series 3 all other smart watches can only really win in battery life (at the cost of a lot of features) and looks (which are subjective).

And then compare it to something like this (Samsung Gear S3).

At least the Samsung looks like a watch, LOL xD

Put a metal band on it and you have a classy formal watch,while the Apple watch looks like a childs toy.

Posting pro-apple news in this forum is just asking for arguments... 

 

Also apple watch's hear rate monitoring is stunningly accurate. 

 

 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

Meh, I'd say it along with the Gear S3/Gear Sport are the best smartwatches. I prefer navigating Tizen OS and the rotating bezel of the Gears as well as the aesthetics of the Gear S3, but WatchOS isn't too far behind.

I wouldn't exactly say classy. I personally prefer the looks of the S3 by a long shot compared to the Apple Watch, but it still doesn't exactly look classy.

Agreed. And above all else, Android Wear is just hot garbage.

Though, I personally prefer the OG Gear Fit over everything else. I'd trade my Fit 2 to have my old Fit back.

It's definitely classier (but it could still do better) and if it was a bit smaller and thinner, then I would almost definitely have kept it instead of settling on an Apple Watch even if it meant not having Apple/Samsung-Pay and not being able to respond to notifications. It was just a bit too big and thick for me. The Gear Sport solves those problems except it has the awkward square behind circle face, which is a real shame imho.

My favorite, and one of my classiest watches, was this thick square monster. I wish I knew where it was.

I don't think they are particularly, for a phone.  Which shouldn't be surprising since they pride themselves on their thinness.

Also if they went thinner everyone would complain about the battery life.

That may be but the fact remains it looks like a very chunky lump strapped to your wrist - almost any other smart watch looks better and more professional imo

I always find it incredible how many people are willing to blindly follow the advice of a machine without consulting any kind of expert first.

I was at a seminar about AI where they talked about this and chances are, you're already better off following the advice of a machine rather than a doctor.

In fact, a lot of times doctors are already relying on machines.

 

A doctor only has their experience to go on, and a lot of times that's guesses based on indicate information.

A computer could scan through hundreds of thousands of people with similar test results as you to get a much more accurate prediction.

 

Not saying that you shouldn't trust doctors, but we are already at the point where doctors augmented by machines are better than just doctors, and in a few years removing the doctor completely could increase the number of successful diagnoses even further. Kind of like how future cars will be safer than human driven cars.

 

But with all that said, I wouldn't trust an Apple watch for diagnosing me, even a few generations from now. The machines doctors use are quite different from smartwatches still.
