Device Type field not complying to BTSIG "Appearance" definition

[chrislro2019]

Our device publishes the Appearance as 0x0D44, but the latest version 2.6b616 (and versions before it) shows Device Type: GlucoseMeter although the Online Resources Status shows "Up To Date". This does not comply to https://specificationrefs.bluetooth.com/assigned-values/Appearance%20Values.pdf. At least the Category as defined in the PDF should be used (and maybe additionally display the hex value somewhere)

Very good point.

We're processing 'Appearance' on our own based on the Advertised Services of the Device, not on the published Appearance value. We will take this into consideration. Thank you.

Interestingly, we are not advertising CGM or BGM services, which would be related to GlucoseMeter.
