Calm Down! Here’s Why Katrina Kaif’s Is Wearing A ‘Black Patch’ On Her Arm

When it comes to celebrities, even something as small as a new haircut can make headlines, and Katrina Kaif is no exception. Recently, the actress and entrepreneur was spotted at the airport on her way to Thrissur for a Navratri celebration hosted by the Kalyanaraman family. Katrina looked breathtaking in a paisley motif-inspired kashida-embroidered saree by designer Tarun Tahiliani. While her outfit turned heads, fans were quick to notice something unusual—a ‘black patch’ on the back of her arm.

Speculations started rising, with some wondering if Katrina might have a health condition, like diabetes. Let me clear that up—she’s not diabetic. The black patch is a health monitoring device from a brand called Ultrahuman. This wearable device is used for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to track and optimize metabolic health. It helps users understand how their body responds to food, exercise, and lifestyle habits by providing real-time glucose data.

How Does It Work?

The sensor is placed under the skin and tracks glucose levels in interstitial fluid, offering insights into how activities impact blood sugar. Ultrahuman’s device also provides personalized recommendations for food, exercise, and sleep, making it popular with health enthusiasts. While commonly used by people with diabetes or prediabetes, it’s also favored by individuals aiming to improve overall metabolic health. The device is especially useful for customizing diets and understanding how different foods affect glucose levels, as responses can vary greatly from person to person.

As for the cost, the Ultrahuman device isn’t cheap, you guys. According to their website, the price ranges from Rs 34,999 to Rs 1,34,999, depending on the subscription plan and duration of glucose monitoring. Considering Katrina’s known dedication to health and fitness, it’s no surprise she’s using the device.

Whether Katrina wearing this patch is related to personal health and fitness or is it a promotional tactic… that remains to be seen. But it has certainly piqued our curiosity and that of others.
