With DiaMonTech (www.diamontech.com) we are also working on a non-invasive blood sugar monitor. Google lens was always a discussion with the interested parties (e.g. investors). Our take was that it is hard to detect the small concentration of glucose in tear fluids but even if you manage to do that, the real problem would be that there is always a delay (between 30 and 100 minutes) until changes in the blood sugar level are seen in tear fluid. So for people with fast changing blood sugar levels (i.e. diabetics) the needed information comes too late.
