alt Hacker NewsI wonder if there are any legs in an internal sensor that pushes out its reading every x? That seems pretty plausible.

There are 6 month implantable CGMs, they're just quite expensive.

You got me thinking about possible hollow spots INSIDE my leg to put a sensor :P

Internal as in swimming in the bloodstream?
Invasive CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitor) and minimally invasive CGMs exist. It's the non-invasive CGMs which are being worked on because managing an implant or having something always poking through you is a big annoyance+risk compared to wearing a watch, ring, or patch.
The problems for these non-invasive options so far is they either too easily fail to work, are bulky/expensive, give very ballpark accuracies, or some combination thereof.
