Own Your Health With Glucose Tracking

Keeping your glucose balanced is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your health in the long term. Stelo — the glucose biosensor by Dexcom — provides insights about your glucose levels that give you the ability to make personalized adjustments to your meals and fitness routine for better long-term health.^*,1-4

What Is Glucose, and Why Does It Matter?

Glucose is a type of sugar that serves as your body’s primary source of energy. When you eat or drink carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into glucose — think of it as the fuel that powers your muscles and brain.

Glucose is essential to function, but it can cause health issues at excessive levels. Keeping your glucose levels balanced throughout the day is important for staying healthy.

 How Can Glucose Biosensing Help You Improve Your Health?

Using a glucose biosensor allows you to monitor your glucose levels day and night. Understanding how your glucose changes throughout the day gives you the power to make the best choices to keep your levels in a healthy range. This can lead to improvements to your overall health and quality of life.

While glucose biosensors were initially intended for people living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, they can provide valuable information even for people who do not have those diagnoses, as glucose spikes and the resulting insulin surges can contribute to disease and aging.⁵

Using Stelo to Track Your Glucose and Own Your Health

The Stelo Glucose Biosensor is a small wearable that’s applied to the arm that sends your glucose levels to your smartphone 24/7.^† It reports how your body reacts to food, exercise, stress, and more, so you can make adjustments to keep your glucose in a healthy target range.

This short video explains how to start tracking your glucose with Stelo, and the best times to check it surrounding your meals and exercise.

Understanding Target Glucose Range and Time in Range

Target glucose range refers to the recommended glucose levels for maintaining optimal health. It can vary depending on the individual and their healthcare provider’s advice.

Time in range (TIR) is the amount of time your glucose stays in the recommended target range. Knowing your TIR helps you understand how well you’re managing your glucose on a daily basis. The more time you spend in range, the better you may feel.

Stelo analyzes your glucose data and provides AI-generated insights such as daily and weekly TIR and spike pattern detection. This can help you understand your glucose trends and make personalized adjustments that work for you.
