why is BMI not a good indicator for health?

I have seen on several websites that BMI is not an accurate or reliable way of knowing if someone is healthy. Why is this information suddenly inaccurate?

According to WHO , Health is a state of COMPLETE physical, mental and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity.
BMI cannot cover all aspects of health. For example, BMI cannot tell if my blood sugar is going higher or not !
