- I have been wearing both the Dexcom Stelo and the Abbott Lingo CGMs and here is what I have learned- and which one I will keep ordering. These first continuous glucose monitors available without a prescription are for those of us who live in the grey are between perfect health and a diabetes diagnosis. I was surprised by the blood sugar spikes of some of my usual meals- but I was shocked at how sky-high stress could push my numbers. Without the Stelo or Lingo I never would have known.

If have Android down Google fit and Samsung health and it will save all your numbers!!! Way better then the graphs in stelo!
"Ikea assembly instructions". 😂.
Stelo can write to Apple Health, which will store all the historical data.
Also, the Stelo app is able to read activity like excercise, and carb intake from Apple Health. This is handy, saves you the trouble of having to manually enter that data
Just what I want....Apple storing my health information
@@x.y.7385 If that scares you, I’d recommend you don’t read any of those EULAs you signed for other apps.
Very useful review. Thank you.
You are doing a fantastic job!
My Android 8.0 is too old for the Stelo App.... their website stinks... trying to find out if my Dexcom G7 reader will connect with the Stelo. Any clue anyone?
Thanks
Stelo writes to Clarity and it has better records and reporting
On both devices, I feel because a whole day is wasted for them to calibrate is a big no-no. That means I actually have to put on TWO devices at the same time if I don't want a gap in readings. So when they advertise how long you can keep them on before needing a new one, that is deceptive advertising. There's probably a technical reason why they need a warm up period, but they should compensate by making them last longer. Maybe a better battery would extend the time.
Stelo only lasted 25 hours before ending the session. $45 for one day. 😠
What is the name of the app you use to keep Stelo data? Thanks

I just got the Lingo based on your earlier review. Love it so far. Do you plan to alternate arms with the sensor every 2 weeks?
Nice. I use the G7 now but am looking for something cheaper. The lingo looks interesting.
You should go to a target and do a Duke Canon Cologne review. I got the Sawtooth and really like it and am curious what you think of them. They are 22.99 not too expensive.
lingo only lasted 6 days!
My stelo sucked. Waste of $100. And customer service is impossible. Sensor died in 6 days and was rarely accurate anyway
Update , 2 weeks later , They did agree to replace the sensor.
After two weeks of using the Dexcom Stelo, I found it fell short of my expectations. Since I am not diabetic, my goal was to use the device to understand how different foods affected my body, with the hope of making healthier choices and reducing the risk of developing sugar intolerance in the future.
However, when I compared Stelo’s readings to actual fingerstick tests, I noticed a consistent discrepancy: the Stelo was always 30 to 40 points higher. This inaccuracy meant it constantly triggered alarms for glucose spikes, no matter how healthy my meals were. Its daily reports even suggested I was diabetic, which was far from the truth.
Because of these inconsistencies, I couldn’t reliably track how specific foods impacted my body. Instead, the device seemed only to detect that I had eaten, assigning glucose levels almost randomly. Frustration set in as it became clear that the Stelo provided little more than general tendencies, making it impossible for me to draw any meaningful conclusions about my diet.
In the end, I was left questioning whether it was measuring anything beyond when I ate, with the actual glucose readings feeling almost arbitrary.
something is not right with your sensor. Please call them they will work with you. Mine works almost perfectly. At times it's off with my fingerstick by 2 which I've never seen before including coming from Abbott's Libre.
Research the terms "Qualitative" and "Quanitative".
I have the same issue with Stelo being 30 to 40 points higher. This has been the case with both of the sensors.
You stated that it was easy for you to cancel your subscription for the Stello. Please tell me how you did it. I have been trying for two days and the app is the least user-friendly I have ever seen. I go to the area where I am supposed to be able to cancel the account or cancel my subscription and all it will allow me to do is to order a new Subscription. I have been using computers for 35 years and I know how they work. This thing is absolutely impossible. Please tell me how you were able to cancel and I will be forever grateful.
In the app to to "Settings" (bottom right) and then scroll down to "Support" and tap on "Account Dashboard". It will tell you that you are leaving the app and going to their website. There you can see "Subscription" and tap on "Manage Subscription". Scroll down to see "Cancel Subscription"
@@parristx Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I have tried doing what you said on my iPhone, my iPad, and my desktop computer and I cannot get beyond the subscription page. There is no “manage subscription” and no place to cancel. It only gives me the option of “Start a New Subscription”.
I cannot figure out why and there is no way of contacting them. I feel like I am in a loop and will be receiving two sensors every month for the rest of my life lol. Thanks again.
The g7 app is just as bad as the stello. all are better than fingersticks all day long.
Excellent review. Thank you!
Does the1 day adjustment period happen every time you put on a new monitor (ie once every two weeks) or is it just a one time thing?
Android user here, too. I'll try the Lingo when Android is supported because my first Stelo sensor lasted 11 days and my second only 6 days. The first was replaced, no hassle. We'll see on the second one.
