I’m guessing Stelo will be expensive, in line with a Levels CGM type package, and inserting a CGM is not painless. False compression lows during sleep is a drawback. Needing to understand and adjust for the differences between capillary blood, venous blood and interstial fluid. Time lags, and reaction to non food stress events…lack of sleep, illness, etc. Although stable and lower blood glucose levels are a positive marker of metabolic health, merely treating the symptom (i.e. elevated blood sugar) rather than addressing the cause (i.e. insulin resistance, energy toxicity and excess body fat) doesn’t help.


The finger prick method doesn’t bother me, but I’d like to see what happens over the course of a day, during the night, after exercise, etc. By using a simple, inexpensive glucometer and tracking pre-meal BG, not relying on "hacks" I was able to correct the pre-diabetic HbA1c I had on the keto diet.
