Looks very much like the Libre Sensor.

Engineers from the University of California San Diego have come up with a wearable "lab on a skin" sensor that can track multiple vitals important for people who live with diabetes at once. Besides the obvious continuous blood sugar monitoring, the device can detect and report alcohol levels, as well as measure lactate, two important diabetes biomarkers whose monitoring can prevent dangerous blood sugar drops while exercising or having drinks with friends on a night out.

 
A bit limited what it measures - even if you happen to be a dedicated drinker of alcohol or taking exercise the only thing which 99.9% of PWD are interested in would be their BG? Then if they're that dedicated to either, they could change either the alcohol intake or the participation in exercise to improve their BG.
