Glucose Biosensor & App by Dexcom—A Leader in Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). 24/7 Glucose Tracking & Personalized Insights to Reveal Patterns. 2-Pack (Up to 15 days Each). iOS & Android.

I applied the Stelo sensor yesterday. It was very easy and painless. I have been using it for about 30 hours. I have been comparing the sensor measurements compared to finger stick measurements taken at exactly the same time. This Stelo sensor measurements are about 27% higher than the finger stick measurements. However, what is most useful is how the Stelo sensor is helping me to understand how things that I am eating or doing affect my blood sugar. This is really useful. I purchased two sensors and will change the existing one in about 13 days. I am attaching a graph that plots the Stelo measurements versus the finger stick measurements. There is excellent correlation. I have verified the accuracy of the finger stick measurements taken with various blood draws that my doctor has ordered.I will repeat the comparison with the other Stelo sensor when I replace it after 14 days.The understanding that I am developing should help to better manage my blood sugar and perhaps lower the cost of prescriptions used to control it. The knowledge gained should be well worth the price of these two sensors.

1st cgm would not pair so after 30 minutes of trying, I went through the process of a complaint form on the stelo website and was granted a replacement sensor. put the 2nd cgm on today and even though it paired and appeared to be working, it kept saying my bg was under 70 (if i ran under 70 all the time, I would not be monitoring my bg) so again I contacted the stelo website. at first they were saying there is a difference between cgm and bg monitor readings -yes, I am aware, but almost a 50 point difference? so hoping they will send a 2nd sensor but honestly, I will never purchase again. I am disappointed.

I've been working with a Nutritionist for the last eight weeks. Since I'm pre-diabetic it was suggested that I get a CGM and try it out. Wow! This device totally changes everything. Absolutely no cheating since the CGM would detect that and show a spike. Now I'm held even more accountable to make good nutrition decisions.It's been a struggle to lose weight in a sustainable way. So far, with the guidance from my Nutritionist, I believe that this device will help me to see the effect on my glucose level for the food choices I have. I've been tracking macronutrients, carbs, fiber, protein... the works. This device is proving to be VERY helpful in dynamically measuring my glucose.No pain in applying. Very easy to use. Took a little research to find clarity.dexcom.com in order to get at patient reporting. I've found this to be a good value for the money and very functional. Please give it a try.

This is not something I would normally order. I don't like the idea of wearing something that screams I have diabetes. It is the vanity in me. However, my numbers were very off on my last doctor visit. So, I wanted to try something different. I was looking for something that did not require a prescription. There are not very many devices on the market. Of the two that Amazon offers, one (Lingo at a cheaper price point) can only be used with an iPhone. I have an Android. The delivery time takes a little longer than I wanted (5 days), but I purchased it anyway. It came with two 15 day sensors. The first sensor was very easy to put on and sync to my phone. The second sensor, however, experienced a problem 30 minutes after I put it on and eventually expired. So for the price point of $99, I am not very satisfied since this was supposed to be a 30 day supply. Some people have commented on the difference between CGM and BGM. I took the time to read up on this, and it is normal. One of the main reasons the two may differ is BGM measures glucose in blood, while CGM glucose in interstitial fluid (a fluid just below the surface of the skin). I also found out that this device is part of the Dexcom family, which is the maker of Dexcom G7 which requires a prescription. It can be paired with the Dexcom Clarity App for a little more detailed reports. There is a 20% chance that the device might not last the full 15 day time period, which again is disappointing for the price point. Customer service was quick to reply to my request for support, and they are sending a replacement. The ability to see how food have affected my sugar levels, to see where my numbers might be when I feel a certain way, without pricking my finger is great. Even though the detection range is 70 - 250, it gives a general idea that I use to determine if I need to prick my finger for a more accurate number. With this monitor you will need to use both, but not the BGM as much. I would still purchase again, because you can you FSA or HSA. I would prefer for the 20% fail rate not to be a thing, and if it weren't for that and the price I would give it a higher rating. I would recommend if you understand what you are getting.

Both the units didn’t pair.I received the unit after a weeks wait. I installed first unit as per the instructions, which was not that hard, watched the videos. However after installing the sensor and app, the unit failed at the pairing step. I tried for 2-3 hours and again after few hours. No luck. Either the sensor or the battery is dead.Tried the same with the second unit. Same problem couldn't get it to pair. Searched and tried to resolve the issue but no luck. Restarted the phone, reinstalled the app, lay on bed with phone adjacent to sensor, no luck. Both the units are dead on arrival. Extremely frustrating.

This Stelo continuous blood sugar monitor is phenomenal. It's more than what I had ever expected. It comes with 5-star tutorial instructions to guide you along. If you really want to get to the most important results of your blood sugar levels, the Stelo monitoring is the way to go. In my opinion, disregard any negative reviews regarding this monitor. I can assure you will be more than happy with the results you will achieve.
