Apple continues expanding into health care by selling its first diabetes product in stores.

Apple's health team and the merchandisers who select products for the store are different divisions at Apple. But the inclusion of One Drop in the store is a sign that Apple products are increasingly capable of performing health-related tasks.

Inside the One Drop app, people with diabetes can buy coaching programs that can help with topics like carbohydrate counting or managing the condition. The One Drop kit sold at Apple stores will cost $69.95 and include a year of free coaching from a certified diabetes educator, Dachis said. "Our ability to align ourselves with that, and help drive that story, is what we see as the benefit of working with Apple," he continued.

In that way, the One Drop will fit right in on Apple store shelves next to the phones, drones and other gadgets sold at the Apple Store, even though it's a medical device.

Good try but still behind Free Style Libre.

Now Apple and Google get to know your blood glucose too.

We get an android blood monitor for 10 dollars.

Yeah, because you can afford that if you're diabetic. Just not the insulin to do anything about it.

Excellent!

This is pretty cool and all, but do you really want Apple to have access to this kind of data?

Probably costs 4x as much as other diabetes products and requires several adapters sold separately.
