Glucose profile - IOS

Is Glucose Profile supported by iOS? As I could not find anywhere even in Apple documentation that iOS (CoreBluetooth) api supports glucose profile. Apple docs just say about heart rate monitors and digital thermostats.

Core Bluetooth supports the GATT profile of Bluetooth Low Energy. The Bluetooth SIG has adopted specifications for a number of services that make use of the GATT profile including the Glucose Service & Glucose Profile (GLS/GLP) and the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Profile & Service (CGMS/CGMP).

Core Bluetooth in iOS doesn't include any functionality to specifically support these services and profiles, but they are delivered using the GATT profile, so the short answer is you can write an app to interact with a peripheral that offers the GLS or CGMS service.

Core Bluetooth doesn't offer specific support for heart-rate monitors either, but they are commonly used as an example of a BLE peripheral in the Apple documentation. They are also supported by HealthKit
