What Is Stelo? A Better Way to Understand Glucose Levels
Stelo is a small glucose sensor worn on the back of the upper arm that connects to an app on your phone. It provides glucose updates throughout the day and helps users see how things like food, activity, sleep, and stress may affect their glucose levels.
At Skippack Pharmacy, we are proud to offer Stelo as a helpful tool for people who want to better understand their glucose patterns and overall health.
Who Is Stelo For?
Stelo is designed for people age 2 and older who are not using insulin. This may include people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin, people with prediabetes, or individuals interested in better understanding their glucose patterns and overall health.
How Stelo Benefits Patients
Stelo can help users:
- Track glucose patterns throughout the day
- Learn how meals affect glucose
- Understand how activity, stress, and sleep may affect glucose
- Gather information to discuss with their healthcare provider
- Feel more aware and informed about their health
Important Things to Know
Stelo is not meant to replace lab work, medical advice, or guidance from your healthcare provider. It should also not be used to make medication changes without speaking with a healthcare professional first.
Stelo is not intended for people who use insulin and should not be used by people with problematic low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or people on dialysis.
