I have some BIG news I’ve been dying to share with you… After years of searching, testing, and saying “Nope, not this one either,” I’ve finally found a glucose sensor I love—and actually recommend.
Meet Stelo: a brand new biosensor that checks all my boxes. And let me tell you—it’s a game changer.
Why I Haven’t Shared a Favorite—Until Now
Over the years, I’ve tested every glucose sensors I could get my hands on—since 2019, I’ve tried them all. And to be honest, most of them left me disappointed.
Most were either:
- Requiring a prescription – so hard to get
- Made for people who are on insulin —not the right one for most of us
- Expensive, with complicated apps, too many features and not enough clarity
It just didn’t feel right to recommend a tool that I didn’t truly believe in.
Introducing: The Glucose Biosensor That Changed Everything
After months of testing, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve found “the one”: a new biosensor called Stelo.
This little device is changing the game—and here’s why I love it so much:
- No prescription needed. It’s accessible.
- It’s made for people who aren’t on insulin—like me, and many of you out there.
- It’s simple. The app is clear, intuitive, and tells me exactly what’s happening with my glucose.
- It lasts 15 days, a day longer than the others I’ve tried.
- It’s accurate.
- It’s affordable.
- It’s built by Dexcom, the OG in glucose monitoring tech, already trusted by millions
It’s a perfect fit with the Glucose Goddess lifestyle—backed by science, and designed for real life.
A super simple app, straight to the point - exactly how I like it, showing me my glucose levels in real time as well as my spikes.
Why I Use a Glucose Biosensor (Even During Pregnancy!)
I’ve been wearing my Stelo nearly nonstop during my pregnancy (and I’ll keep using it after, too).
And here’s why: it helps me see 24/7 how what I eat is impacting my body.
Certain foods, like carbs or sugars, can lead to glucose spikes. A glucose spike happens when your glucose rises sharply after eating. Your body breaks down carbs into glucose, that glucose enters your bloodstream, your glucose level rises, your body responds by releasing insulin to bring it back down.
Even if you don’t have diabetes or insulin resistance, frequent glucose spikes can impact how you feel right now and how your body functions long-term.
In the short-term glucose spikes can lead to:
- Energy crashes (hello 3pm slump)
- Cravings (especially for sugar, carbs or junk food)
- Hunger soon after eating
- Mood swings or irritability
- Brain fog or fatigue
And long-term, repeated spikes can contribute to:
- Increased risk of insulin resistance
- Hormonal imbalances
- Skin issues
- Sleep problems
- Inflammation
The Stelo app has a “spike detection” feature that tells you when you’re getting a glucose spike. Tracking this is absolutely core to my daily habits. Having this real-time info helps me stick to my hacks and create better habits to feel better every day, and stay healthy in the long term.
