It doesn't actually. You can get a reader for it.That means I'll have to buy a phone.
It might actually stop you dying in agony.

You need to lose fat from your liver and increase your insulin sensitivity.I have T2, which was first diagnosed over 5 years ago when I was overweight and not really exercising, so I disciplined myself to eat better and take more exercise. Within 6 months I'd lost nearly 2 stone and my blood sugar level was back in the normal range.
After 3 years I was formally in remission, which I was thrilled about but I got complacent and started eating rubbish, didn't exercise and I'm well in the diabetic range again, even though my weight is as low as it's been for many years. In fact my HB1AC level is far higher than it was when I was first diagnosed in 2019.
I'm now on Metformin but I still have the belief I can control my diabetes by keeping my weight down and exercising. However the GP explained that it might just be my body becoming more resistant to insulin , or failing to produce enough, as I get older
The only way to stay on top of what you're eating is to track it, using an app. You have to be ruthless in tracking everything, as it's too easy to 'forget' you've just had a bar of chocolate or a biscuit.
I hate having to track what I'm doing. I've recently got this diary thing from the Long COVID clinic...i have to fill it out every HOUR. It's depressing to see my life written down in boxes! haha.I have T2, which was first diagnosed over 5 years ago when I was overweight and not really exercising, so I disciplined myself to eat better and take more exercise.
