There are a handful of items that, in the first warm days of spring, had already proved to be the accessories of the summer. Among them: Prada crochet bags, Chloé jelly sandals, and...glucose monitors. The sticky oblong devices are far less chic than their counterparts, but that hasn't stopped them from becoming ubiquitous. One New Yorker reports she's seen them everywhere from her personal trainer's studio to black tie affairs. Another wore one—briefly—at the urging of a “health obsessed” friend. Momfluencers are hosting glucose challenges (complete with click-to-buy links for the devices), gyms are advertising them, and you can't walk four blocks up Park Avenue without spotting the telltale patch on at least one sinewy triceps.
