The FORCE-FIT Act directs the Department of Defense to run a five-year pilot program that provides continuous glucose monitoring technology to military members who are considered not medically ready or partially medically ready due to metabolic health issues, including those with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, obesity, or a history of gestational diabetes. The goal is to track metabolic health in real time, provide early interventions, and improve both individual health and overall military readiness. The bill includes strong privacy protections, prohibiting the military from using this health data to discharge service members and requiring private companies providing the technology to delete all information after use. The Government Accountability Office will report on the program's effectiveness after three years and again at five years, while the Department of Defense must also submit findings on how the program affected force readiness and whether it should continue.
