A Continuous Glucose Monitor Might Help You Lose Weight (2026)

WIRED

Signos is the first FDA-cleared, AI-enabled system that uses CGMs to nudge you towards healthier behaviors. According to the American Diabetes Association, around 7 million people in the United States are undiagnosed, with 1 in 3 Americans at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. If you do not go on medication, you can manage the condition--a chronic metabolic disease that's characterized by elevated blood sugar levels--by exercising and watching what you eat (very, very closely). In the past few years, the tools that diabetics use to help manage their condition have become more widely available. Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) like the Abbott Lingo and the Dexcom Stelo used to be available only by prescription.

Calorie labels on menus are pointless unless you're actively trying to lose weight, a study has found. Researchers have discovered that being told your beef pie is 1,362 calories or your cheeseburger is 2,133 calories makes no difference to what you order unless you're watching what you eat. It casts further doubt on the effectiveness of the government's policy, introduced in 2022, that ordered the use of calorie labels by all food outlets with more than 250 employees.

New app can tell you exactly how many calories are in your food - just by looking at it

Daily Mail - Science & tech

There's an endless number of apps that claim to help with weight loss. But one now claims to be able to tell you exactly how many calories are in your food -- just by taking a picture of what you're eating. Healthify prompts you to take a picture of your meals. Using artificial intelligence (AI), it can recognise food on your plate, as well as how much you have, to generate a nutritional breakdown. A new version of the app, which will be rolled out in the UK in the coming days, includes the feature called Snap 2.0.

Turning AI Chatbots Into Digital Humans

#artificialintelligence

The term "uncanny valley" refers to that unsettling feeling you get when looking at an android that has been made to appear human. Of course, the problem goes away when we can make robots that are indistinguishable from humans. A paper published last week by New Yawk University claims that "bots are more efficient than humans at certain human-machine interactions, but only if they are allowed to hide their non-human nature." In other words, once we're past that whole uncanny valley problem, we're better served letting people think they're interacting with a human when in fact it's just artificial intelligence perfected. This raises a very important question.


Coming Soon: A.I.-Powered Personalized Restaurant Menus

#artificialintelligence

Scott Sanchez used to have a hard time deciding what to eat, especially when he was traveling. The 42-year-old wanted to lose weight and found he needed to dissect a menu with the waiter before he could order. It was a challenge, he says, but one that gave birth to The Fit, a menu personalization platform that uses artificial intelligence to give restaurant brands and their customers the option to customize their menu and food choices. At least 32 million Americans -- including 5 million children -- have food allergies, according to nonprofit Food Allergy Research & Education. Whenever they eat out, they need to make sure there are no ingredients in the food that could trigger an allergic reaction. Those with dietary preferences, from vegans to people wanting to lose weight -- there are 93 million obese people in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- also need to carefully examine menus.
