## Availability

Stelo is shipping and consumer-available over the counter (no prescription) since its US launch on August 26, 2024. From DexCom (NASDAQ: DXCM), it is the OTC product line, separate from the prescription G7.

## Status

Dexcom's Stelo is the first-ever FDA-cleared over-the-counter glucose biosensor (De Novo, March 5, 2024): a 15-day continuous glucose monitor for adults 18+ not on insulin, including non-diabetic users tracking how diet and exercise affect glucose. It is the generative-AI end of the glucose cell: Weekly Insights run on Google Cloud's Vertex AI and Gemini, with AI photo meal-logging and personalized daily recommendations, the AI substance that carries it across the biometric boundary. DEPLOY holds the claim to the cleared indication: it is an OTC CGM for adults 18+ not on insulin, explicitly not cleared for problematic hypoglycemia (it has no low-glucose alerts), and should not be read as a diabetes-management device.
