Leave a Review Stelo by Dexcom
What’s the point of keeping events?
It only keeps 2-3 days history, which I found after entering every meal data for a week and they were all gone now except last 2 days.
The app only writes glucoses data to Apple health so basically I lost all my contexts why there were spikes.
Then why do we need to keep Event even I can just remember.Show lessKevmando
Good but not great
Received my first sensors yesterday and it seems to be working fine. Not sure how accurate readings are but after reading it can take sensor as long as a couple days to fully calibrate I’m hoping my readings will start being closer to what my finger sticks are. Like others, would be nice to be able to look back previous days to see patterns. I’m getting extended periods of time with “below 70” readings, would be really helpful if it told me what the actual level was for these low readings. Last night while sleeping readings showed 3-4 hour period of continuous low readings. No way to know what actual levels were. I’m sure if I told my doctor I’m “below 70” 23% of a 24 hour period his first question would be “how low “. This app is new and has tons of potential, hopefully will see additional features on near future. Also hope sensor calibration completes soon and readings are more in line with my finger sticks. Really nice not having to stick 7-8 times a day.
UPDATE- My readings are coming closer to my finger sticks. More importantly, after doing some research I learned that the Dexcom Clarity App is compatible with the Stelo sensor. This app incorporates all the information from the Stelo and provides a wealth of information including reports that can be downloaded and saved on your computer or even shared with your health provider. The Clarity app used in combination with the Stelo sensor is a game changer.Show lessTNSheepdog
Data discrepancy
On some occasions I have noticed that the peak value on a spike in the graph does not match the numbers for the same timestamp that are sent/synced 3 hours later (the data that gets stored in Apple Health data on the iphone). For example the app graph said my 2:00 reading was 139 but later when I looked at the value for 2:00 in the Apple Health data it was 141. There was another discrepancy 3 hours later. This could be a bug in either updating Apple Health or a bug in the way the app makes the graph. At any rate discrepancies like this lower my confidence in this product.Show lessFr345df
Basic sensor, hard to make changes as a result
I got the pair of Stelo sensors on a subscription to measure my sugar levels, learn what causes spikes and how to keep myself healthy.
The sensor ordering process was smooth, the insertion videos were helpful and got into my arm. The sensor is a little painful to wear while sleeping, apart from that, I don’t notice it much. It takes blood glucose estimates regularly and plots it in a graph. There are daily, 3 days and weekly stats of average levels and 3,6,12 hour graphs for the day to day. While these basic features work well, there is so much to improve.
1. food tracking is ridiculously bad. I have to use another app, track my calories and foods and come back and enter into this app. Defeats the purpose when I need to use multiple apps, then insert everything into Apple health and do analysis myself.
2. Need your phone always near you for tracking to work. Wish they could pair with my Apple Watch which is always on my wrist instead of the phone or increase the range of the sensor
3. Analysis and reporting is too basic and correlations to physical activity, sleep
Levels, stress and other measurements are non existent
I canceled my subscription and would return when they fix these must have features to enable a better lifestyle.Show lessManusrPro
I want my money back
Lets get to it. Here are my top complaints: 1) recorded events (eg meals, workouts, etc) are only showing for last couple days. I dont see anything from previous week. Not sure if data was lost or if it doesnt allow to look back further, 2) logged events are not shown on glucose graph so you have to navigate between 2 tabs and cross reference. Fix this. Show events on the graph!, 3) graph only lets you look back 24 hours! Come on. Each sensor lasts 14 days, 4) no data export function so you need to integrate to apple health to do this which is very roundabout, 5) senor randomly losses signal though phone is me. Happens couple times a day now. I want my money backShow lessHsin1084
The app is simply adequate
The app is adequate. It does not allow you to freely zoom in and out of the timeline. It doesn’t allow you to scroll back before 24 hours. It only shows your events on the horizontal view and then only as small dots at the bottom of the view rather than on the data itself (e.g. as a vertical line through the data). A lot could be done to improve this.Show lessgene_sf
Would like ability to customize range
So far so good. I would highly recommend.
My only suggestion for future improvements would be to allow custom ranges.Az52trader
Graph needs more detail
I like the app and seems to work ok, but the graph needs more detail. Needs to be able to change the scale so that the data is easier to read. It also needs to be able mark events you log to show up on the graph. A table of the actual data would be nice too.HDM0815
Accurate readings, need more data please!
For what the app offers right now it seems to work well. However, the data availability is very limited. I would like to be able to view or download all readings , rather than only see the latest reading and the general trend, as it’s not possible to zoom in on precise readings from the graph alone.Show lessSalary09
Meh
You can’t look at times of individual readings. I wanted to see how low I got in the middle of the night and at what time and it doesn’t show that. Also seems to run about 10 over what my blood glucose monitor states.Sam120222
