Gluroo Support for Dexcom Stelo OTC CGM

As of November 2024, Dexcom Stelo does not support the Follow service like other Dexcom CGMs (e.g., the G6 and G7). That means that Gluroo’s usual real-time integration for Dexcom sensors will not work with the Dexcom Stelo.

Dexcom Stelo on iPhone (not Android) can be configured to write blood glucose values into Apple HealthKit, but with a 2-3 hour time delay. Gluroo can import those (not-real-time) blood glucose estimations from the Stelo: you need to use Gluroo’s Menu > Devices > Other > Apple Health and “Enable” Apple Health on this device (after checking “Yes, this is the Primary User’s phone”).

We neither recommend nor support it, but if you are comfortable with technology you can see these pages for more information about community-supported ways of connecting Stelo: Xdrip+ with Stelo (for Android, you do not use the Stelo app at all); or xdrip4ios (for iOS, you run this ALONG WITH the Stelo app).

CAUTION: Gluroo only recommends using 1st party apps for providing CGM values.

CAUTION: Gluroo is not intended for making treatment decisions or recommendations. This device is not intended to replace self-monitoring practices as advised by a physician. Do not alter any treatment plans without consultation with a qualified physician.

Note: this also applies to GotCGM
