Frequently Asked Questions

  • A continuous glucose monitor is a small wearable sensor placed on the back of the arm that measures glucose levels continuously throughout the day and night.

    Unlike traditional blood glucose testing, which only provides a single snapshot, CGM technology shows your glucose patterns over time — helping identify how your body responds to:

    • Different foods

    • Exercise and training

    • Sleep quality

    • Stress

    • Meal timing

    • Carbohydrate intake

    • Lifestyle habits

    The goal is not simply to track numbers — it is to understand your unique biology

  • Stelo by Dexcom is an over-the-counter continuous glucose biosensor designed to help individuals better understand their glucose patterns.

    Stelo provides:

    • Continuous glucose readings

    • Daily glucose trends

    • Insights into glucose responses

    • Patterns that may help guide nutrition and lifestyle decisions

    The sensor is worn on your arm and communicates with a smartphone app, allowing you to easily view your glucose data throughout the day.

  • 1. Individuals With Diabetes or Blood Sugar Concerns

    CGM technology has traditionally been used for individuals managing diabetes because it provides valuable insight into glucose fluctuations.

    It may help patients better understand:

    • Blood sugar patterns

    • Responses to meals

    • Effects of exercise

    • Lifestyle factors impacting glucose control

    CGM data can support conversations with your healthcare provider about improving metabolic health.

    2. Health Optimization & Longevity Patients

    You do not need to have diabetes to benefit from understanding your glucose patterns.

    Many people experience glucose instability without realizing it, including:

    • Energy crashes after meals

    • Afternoon fatigue

    • Increased hunger or cravings

    • Difficulty losing weight

    • Poor recovery

    • Reduced exercise performance

    CGM can help uncover patterns that may contribute to these concerns.

    For patients focused on longevity, body composition, and performance, CGM can provide a personalized roadmap for improving metabolic efficiency.

  • Your glucose response can provide insight into:

    Nutrition Optimization

    Learn which foods create stable energy versus large glucose spikes and crashes.

    Examples:

    • Understanding your response to carbohydrates

    • Identifying meals that keep you full longer

    • Improving meal composition

    • Optimizing protein, fiber, and carbohydrate timing

    Weight Management

    Stable glucose patterns may support:

    • Better appetite regulation

    • Improved energy consistency

    • More informed nutrition decisions

    • Better adherence to a personalized plan

    Longevity & Disease Prevention

    Metabolic health is closely connected to long-term wellness.

    Monitoring glucose patterns can help identify opportunities to improve:

    • Insulin sensitivity

    • Nutrition quality

    • Body composition

    • Lifestyle habits

    Optimizing metabolic health is a foundation for healthy aging.

  • Step 1: Apply the Sensor

    • A small sensor is placed on the back of your upper arm.

    • The application takes only a few minutes.

    Step 2: Connect Your Smartphone

    • Your sensor communicates with the Stelo app, allowing you to view your glucose patterns.

    Step 3: Live Your Normal Life

    • Wear the sensor during your normal routine:

      • Eat normally

      • Exercise normally

      • Sleep normally

    • The goal is to capture your real-life patterns.

    Step 4: Review Your Data

    • Your results can help identify:

      • Foods that work well for your body

      • Times when glucose levels fluctuate

      • Lifestyle changes that improve your metabolic health

    • Your CGM experience is about learning — not chasing perfection.

    • Everyone’s glucose response is different.

    • Two people can eat the same meal and have completely different glucose responses based on:

      • Genetics

      • Muscle mass

      • Activity level

      • Sleep

      • Stress

      • Hormonal health

      • Metabolic function

    • Your data creates a personalized picture of your metabolism.
