Stelo: Your Guide to Personalized Glucose Monitoring 

05/20/2025|Physicians Preference Vitamins|,

At Physicians Preference Vitamins, we share your aspiration to feel energized and focused every day, ready to embrace life’s possibilities. We’ve all faced those moments when an afternoon slump or mental fog dims our spark. Stelo, the first FDA-cleared over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor (CGM) by Dexcom, helps you uncover the reasons behind these moments. Designed for health-conscious adults without diabetes, Stelo tracks your glucose levels continuously, revealing how your meals, exercise, and sleep shape your vitality. Worn discreetly on your arm, it’s like a trusted companion guiding you toward better health. Join us as we explore how Stelo, paired with our premium supplements, can empower you to live more vibrantly. 

Discovering Stelo: Your Window into Wellness 

Picture placing a small, sleek sensor on the back of your upper arm and gaining a clear view of your body’s inner workings. That’s the Stelo experience. A tiny filament measures glucose in your interstitial fluid, sending updates to the Stelo app every 15 minutes—no need for painful finger sticks. The app becomes your personal wellness guide, displaying glucose levels, trends, and patterns. You might discover that a sugary breakfast spikes your glucose, leaving you sluggish, while a protein-packed meal keeps you steady and energized. 

Stelo offers 94% accuracy compared to laboratory tests, ensuring reliable insights.1 Each sensor lasts up to 15 days, with 96% of users finding application comfortable and straightforward.2 Its waterproof design lets you swim or shower worry-free, and it syncs with iOS 16.2, Android 12, Apple Health, Google Health Connect, and Oura Ring to weave seamlessly into your wellness routine. At Physicians Preference Vitamins, we’re thrilled to share Stelo’s potential to help you understand your body in a new, empowering way. 

Why Glucose Matters to Your Everyday Health 

Glucose fuels your body’s daily activities, but fluctuations can sap your energy or cloud your focus. For those of us without diabetes, monitoring glucose reveals how our lifestyle choices impact our metabolic health. Research shows that stable glucose levels promote consistent energy, sharper cognition, and a reduced risk of long-term issues like cardiovascular disease.3 Without tools like Stelo, these shifts might go unnoticed, quietly affecting how you feel. 

Priced at $99 for a 30-day supply (two sensors) or $89.10 monthly with a subscription, Stelo is accessible and HSA/FSA-eligible.4 By observing how your body responds to a late-night snack or a morning jog, you can make thoughtful adjustments—like opting for fiber-rich meals or taking a brief walk after dinner—to maintain balance. At Physicians Preference Vitamins, we see Stelo as a vital ally in your wellness journey, enhanced by our carefully crafted supplements. 

Is Stelo Right for You? 

If you’re eager to learn what drives your energy, Stelo is tailored for you. Whether you’re curious about how your diet affects your afternoons or how exercise sharpens your focus, Stelo delivers personalized insights. For instance, you might find a protein smoothie stabilizes your glucose, fueling you through busy days. 

Stelo isn’t for everyone. It’s not designed for individuals with diabetes, insulin users, those on dialysis, or those with frequent low blood sugar, as it lacks real-time low-glucose alerts.5 It’s also not suitable for children under 18 or those with adhesive sensitivities. At Physicians Preference Vitamins, we’re here to support you with expert guidance and supplements to complement your journey. 

How Stelo Helps You Thrive 

Imagine Sarah, a teacher who struggled with post-lunch fatigue. With Stelo, she discovered that carb-heavy meals caused glucose spikes, draining her energy. By choosing balanced meals and adding short walks, she felt revitalized all day. Stelo can offer you similar insights, backed by science: 

  • Know Your Body: Track how foods or activities affect your glucose, guiding you to choices that sustain you.6 
  • Balance Spikes: Identify glucose rises and adjust—like swapping sugary drinks for water—to maintain steady energy.3
