Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)?
Stelo is an over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor that tracks your glucose levels throughout the day and night. A small sensor worn on the back of the arm measures glucose in the interstitial fluid and sends readings to your smartphone, helping you understand how food, exercise, sleep, and stress impact your metabolism.
Do I need a prescription for Stelo?
No. Stelo is designed to be available without a prescription. This allows individuals who are interested in metabolic health, blood sugar awareness, or weight management to access continuous glucose monitoring without needing a diabetes diagnosis.
How long does a Stelo sensor last?
Each Stelo sensor lasts up to 15 days. Most monthly packages include two sensors, providing continuous monitoring for approximately 30 days.
Who should consider using a CGM like Stelo?
Stelo can be helpful for people who want to:
- Understand how their diet affects blood sugar
- Optimize weight loss efforts
- Improve metabolic health
- Track glucose responses to exercise and sleep
- Identify blood sugar spikes or crashes
Many people using GLP-1 medications or lifestyle programs find CGM data helpful for adjusting habits and improving results.
Is the Stelo CGM painful or difficult to wear?
Most people report only a quick, mild sensation when applying the sensor. Once in place, the small sensor sits comfortably on the arm and is designed to be worn during normal daily activities, including sleeping and exercising.
How often does Stelo measure glucose levels?
Stelo continuously measures glucose levels throughout the day and night, providing frequent readings and trend data through the connected smartphone app. This allows users to see patterns and understand how meals, exercise, sleep, and stress influence their glucose levels.
Where is the Stelo sensor placed?
The Stelo sensor is typically applied to the back of the upper arm. Once inserted using the applicator, the sensor remains in place and continuously measures glucose levels until it is replaced with a new sensor.
Can I exercise, shower, or swim while wearing the sensor?
Yes. Stelo sensors are designed to be worn during normal daily activities, including exercise, showering, and swimming. The sensor is water-resistant and made to stay securely attached during regular movement.
Where do I apply the Stelo Glucose Biosensor?
Apply your Stelo biosensor on the back of the upper arm with the push of a button. Biosensor placement is important, and you should change your insertion site with each biosensor to avoid irritation.
What smart devices work with Stelo?
Stelo is compatible with both Apple and Android devices. The Stelo app is available on both the App Store and Google Play Store. Before you complete your purchase, please confirm that you have, at minimum, iOS 16.2 or Android 12 OS installed on your smartphone.
What is an InBody scan?
An InBody scan is a non-invasive body composition test that measures key health metrics including body fat, muscle mass, water balance, and metabolic indicators. It provides much more insight than a traditional scale by showing what your weight is actually made of.
How does the InBody 380 work?
The InBody 380 uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). During the test, a very small electrical current passes through the body to measure how different tissues conduct electricity. This allows the device to estimate body fat, lean mass, and water distribution in different parts of the body.
How long does an InBody scan take?
The scan itself takes less than one minute. Afterward, you receive a detailed results sheet showing your body composition and metabolic indicators.
How often should I get an InBody scan?
Most individuals tracking progress test every 4–6 weeks. This allows enough time to see meaningful changes in muscle mass, body fat, and metabolic markers.
Why is an InBody scan better than using a regular scale?
A traditional scale only measures total weight. An InBody scan provides deeper insights such as:
- Body fat percentage
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Visceral fat levels
- Segmental muscle distribution
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
This helps patients track real progress, even when the scale does not change.
Do I need to prepare before an InBody scan?
For the most consistent results, it is recommended to:
- Avoid eating large meals 2–3 hours before testing
- Avoid strenuous exercise before the scan
- Remove shoes and heavy accessories
- Stand upright for a few minutes before testing
Following similar conditions each time helps ensure accurate progress tracking.
What metrics are included in an InBody results report?
The InBody 380 report typically includes:
- Total body fat mass
- Body fat percentage
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Total body water
- Visceral fat level
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
These metrics help provide a comprehensive view of overall metabolic health.
Is the InBody scan safe?
Yes. The InBody scan uses a very low electrical current that is safe and painless for most individuals. However, individuals with implantable electronic medical devices such as pacemakers should not undergo the test.
Can the InBody scan track progress during weight loss?
Yes. InBody scans are commonly used during weight loss or fitness programs to monitor changes in body fat and muscle mass. This helps distinguish between fat loss and muscle gain, which a traditional scale cannot show.
Who can benefit from an InBody body composition scan?
InBody scans can be helpful for individuals who want to:
- Track weight-loss progress
- Improve metabolic health
- Monitor muscle development
- Optimize fitness or nutrition programs
Gain a deeper understanding of their body composition
Do I need to be a Skippack Pharmacy patient to participate?
No. Anyone interested in learning more about their metabolism and improving their health can participate in the program. You do not need to be an existing pharmacy patient to get started.
Who is this metabolic tracking program best for?
This program is ideal for individuals who want to better understand their metabolism and health, including those who are:
- Working on weight loss
- Taking GLP-1 medications
- Focused on improving metabolic health
- Interested in understanding how food affects their blood sugar
- Tracking fitness or body composition progress
How long does the program take to get started?
Your first visit typically takes about 10–15 minutes. During this time we help you complete your InBody scan, explain your results, and assist with setting up your Stelo CGM sensor and app if needed.
Do I need any technical experience to use a CGM or understand the results?
No. Our team at Skippack Pharmacy will guide you through the process. We help you set up the Stelo CGM, show you how to use the mobile app, and explain your InBody results so you understand what the numbers mean for your health.
Can I participate if I am not trying to lose weight?
Yes. Many people use metabolic tracking simply to learn more about their health. Even if weight loss is not your goal, tracking glucose patterns and body composition can help you better understand your metabolism, nutrition, and overall wellness.
How do I get started with the metabolic tracking program?
Getting started is simple. Just complete the interest form on our website, and our team will guide you through the next steps, including payment and scheduling your appointment for your InBody scan and Stelo CGM setup.
