Maybe most of them would not want the Watch just for this, and it is the first *I* have heard about 'sensors' being IN the watch for Glucose levels. There was a company that tried that a couple of decades ago for the MySentry wrist band for us who may go too low in our sleep. In a few incidences, this could result in passing away ("Dead in Bed") if ones' counter regulatory hormones don't kick in. The Idea was promising, but too many inaccuracies then and too many people having a reaction to the sensors. *I* like that my transmitter will be sending the data to my receiver which I can leave in my pocket and I can see the data on my iPhone. For parents of children with this condition, it would make their job easier to be alerted to their child's bg levels at night without having to go in and do 3+ tests on their kid per night.

The Apple Watch itself will only act as a display for the information being pumped out every five minutes by DexCom's continuous glucose monitor or CGM, a hair-thin sensor embedded under the skin.
Dave, It isn't clear to me what point you are trying to illustrate here.
If it is in relation to Celtica's comment that "it is the first *I* have heard about 'sensors' being IN the watch for glucose levels", then what DexCom stated in no way contradicts this.
