After being diagnosed as prediabetic and insulin resistant in middle school, I dedicated myself to improving my metabolic health. I tested Dexcom's Stelo, the first over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor (CGM), comparing it to Abbott's Lingo. The Stelo claims a 93% accuracy rate and involves a novel application process that’s more convenient than traditional options. After applying the sensor, which provides readings in 20 minutes, I logged food, stress, and exercise to receive meaningful insights from the app's AI software over a two-week period.
Applying the sensor was simple: the app provided instructions, and using a button to deploy the flexible needle was less painful than I expected.
The Stelo has a 93% accuracy rate, and my two-week testing compared its results against a traditional finger-stick monitor.
After applying the sensor, it took about 20 minutes to get active readings, which help in tracking health metrics effectively.
With the Stelo, I logged food, stress, and exercise, allowing the app's AI software to analyze the data for better health insights.
