Dexcom unveils its forthcoming Stelo continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a wearable sensor designed to be an affordable option for Type 2 diabetics who don’t use insulin. Unlike most CGMs, the Stelo provides real-time blood sugar level monitoring for those who control their glucose levels through oral medication.
Year in and year out, most of the blood glucose tech you see at CES are devices that may not come out for years, if ever. That’s why it was refreshing to see Dexcom roll up to CES 2024 to talk about something a bit more tangible: its forthcoming Stelo continuous glucose monitor ( CGM ), a wearable sensor that provides a real-time look at your blood sugar levels . Unlike most CGM s, the Stelo is specifically designed to be an affordable option for Type 2 diabetics who don’t use insulin.
Unlike Type 1 diabetes, where a person produces little to no insulin, Type 2 diabetes is when, over time, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or the body becomes insulin resistant. Roughly 90 to 95 percent of all diagnosed diabetics have Type 2. However, if they control their glucose levels through oral medication rather than inject insulin, they usually don’t have access to CGM devices. “The way CGMs work in the US is that coverage is pretty good if you take insulin, and that’s about a third of people with Type 2 diabetes,” says Dexcom COO Jake Leac
