Dexcom Stelo continuous glucose monitor is aimed at Type 2 diabetics, specifically those who don’t rely on insulin.

CGMs are FDA -cleared over-the-counter devices that are too expensive for the average person.

Stelo works similarly to Nutrisense , a CGM -based platform I tested last year for non-diabetics.

The Stelo app could be helpful for people with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.

Dexcom has kept its focus on the people who could most benefit from this tech.

It's less clear how the rest of the market will glom onto more widely accessible CGMs.
