    The biggest problem with Stelo is that there is nobody supporting the product Dexcom has rolled out this product but they don't have any infrastructure in place to support it if there are any issues or questions. All they provide is a Bot on the Stelo website that creates a case but never gets back to you. You can't contact anybody. Dexcom customer service refuses to assist any Stelo requests. Very poor launch. All Stelo youtube videos have comments turned off and contact information on Facebook is Dexcom and they refuse to help Stelo questions and Issues.

    I take care of a type 1d special needs guywho wears a Dexcom & omnipod 5. What suggestions do you have because the Omni gets changed every 3 days, cgm every 10 days. We wear them both on the same arm. Because they come due to change on different days we will run short on dexcom if we change it a day early to keep up with the pod placement. Does this make sense??? What do other people do? He is so thin & can only wear it on upper arms.

    Thank you for this interview with Dr. Alonzo. His perspective is refreshingly flexible and understanding with regard to the mental health challenges of living with T1D. I especially appreciated the section from 11:45 - 17:25. “Big picture goal,” “Don’t have to win the A1c sweepstakes,” “We can soften our attention to diabetes in a safe way so you can live the happy life that we are actually shooting for.” After 46 years with T1D, I can attest to how rare this attitude used to be. I am glad I've lived long enough to see the change in approach.

I never had this problem with the G6 but I can't get that now. The glue just does not hold when I sweat and I sweat a lot here in Florida. Last month I had one only last four days. I have tried to complain but never get an answer. What a waste of money, great product electronically but physically they are poorly made. I've seen crap from China with a better track record then the G7.

      If you notice a pattern of lows while using the Stelo, the new Medicare rule will cover a prescription CGM. The Stelo app is not helpful but it integrates well with Dexcom's Clarity app, which can generate multi-day records and will show actual glucose levels below 70 (I had them in the low 50s).

    Another great episode. The Stelo was released just as I decided to take my diabetes management to the next level. It has been a real eye-opener. I am so thankful for CGM in general and for Dexcom going straight after the market segment with T2 and poor or no insurance coverage. As the first Stelo users approach one month of use, I would like to see a deep dive into Clarity.

    Translation ... Medtronic is so far behind in their CGM technology they have finally realized in order to sell more pumps they need a better CGM to go along with it. I bought my first Medtronic pump in 2009 (remember, they were the primary pump choice back then) and I bought it because of the "new" CGM technology at the time - a sensor that would send readings automatically to the pump, plot them on a chart and you could download for further tracking and analyzing - pretty cool! I LOVED the Medtronic pump but hated the sensors which were inaccurate, bulky, needed charging, only lasted 3 days, required constant calibration and were so expensive! So I used the pump but not their CGM and entered finger stick reading manually. Fast-forward 15 years Medtronic sensors are still the same profile shape/size,, still need charging, very awkward to insert, now last 7 days with better accuracy but not the best out there, AND are still expensive! Meanwhile, Abbott Libre sensors came along (among others which are good but I have only personally used Libre sensors). Libre's are small, easy to insert, accurate, don't require charging, last 14 days are are less expensive - everything Medtronic's weren't! To be fair, Medtronic is not only a diabetes company, they manufacture other medical devices but as such I believe they lost their focus on CGM's over the last decade. With the great strides in CGM technology over the last few years they can't catch up so good on them for finally realizing they should partner with a company that actually makes fantastic CGM's. I'm very much looking forward to using a Libre sensor with my Medtronic 780G. BTW, the 780G is a fantastic pump but the whole experience will be so much better with a fantastic CGM to match!

  • @caroles7493
    @caroles7493 2 місяці тому

    It can’t be calibrated. It won’t give readings below 70 mg/dl or above 250 mg/dl (just “low” or “high”). It transmits data to the app every 15 minutes instead of every 5. And the only notifications are for “spikes” and “daily insights” so if your glucose is dropping fast you won’t have any idea. I really feel like this is a fine product for pre-diabetic people and “fit-fluencers” and people who think a CGM is the next magic bullet for weight loss. For diabetics people… not so much. I would definitely not use the Stelo if you’re using insulin.

      It can help your blood sugar not increase as much when you eat (not meant for when you wanna eat foods high in carbs/sugars. Even though I know many w/ diabetes who do.) It made me sick and the dr's wont admit that long term use can cause kidney failure. My dr tried to push me to continue to take it saying that I'll get used to the "uncomfortable" side effects (chronic fatigue and digestive issues). I refused. Also it depletes your B12.
