Making healthy lifestyle decisions
The Stelo Glucose Biosensor System empowers you to make lifestyle decisions on
your own. Clinical studies (Erhhardt et al., 2020 and Holzer et al., 2022) suggest that
continuous glucose monitoring can be helpful for people with or without diabetes in
connecting the dots of an individual's lifestyle choices and their glucose control. Many
users felt that continuous glucose monitoring contributed to a healthier lifestyle, such
as being more likely to go for a walk or do physical activity if they saw a rise in their
glucose, and modifying their food choices. Monitoring the way food, physical activity,
medication adherence, stress and emotions, sleep, or other behavioral and lifestyle
factors that impact your glucose can also help inform a conversation with your
healthcare provider.
Informing a medication regimen
Continuous glucose monitoring can be important in understanding the impact of
medications, such as diabetes and non-diabetes related pills or injections and in
adherence to those medications (Ehrhardt, et al., 2020). In addition, review of sensor
readings with a healthcare provider can address any changes to medication needs,
especially if target goals can't be met through lifestyle changes.
