About
Dexcom offers Stelo, a wearable glucose biosensor that provides continuous monitoring without a prescription. Adults 18 and older not on insulin wear the small sensor on the back of the upper arm to track glucose levels around the clock. It sends personalized insights to a smartphone app, showing how food, exercise, and sleep influence glucose.
The system uses Dexcom's precise sensing technology to reveal patterns in glucose excursions. Users gain measured awareness of their metabolic responses, supporting strategic lifestyle adjustments. No fingersticks are needed, making daily tracking straightforward and sustainable.
Stelo focuses on those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes not using insulin, helping them optimize health through direct feedback. Generative AI enhances weekly insights with contextual tips on diet, activity, and rest. This integrated approach empowers precise, evidence-informed decisions for better metabolic health.
