"FDA Approves Dexcom Stelo as First OTC Continuous Glucose Monitor"

The FDA has cleared Dexcom to sell the Stelo, a continuous glucose monitor, over-the-counter to adults without insulin dependence, with the product set to launch this summer. The device is designed for people with type 2 diabetes and those without diabetes who want to monitor their blood sugar levels. Paired with a smartphone app, it provides glucose measurements every 15 minutes. This move marks a significant expansion in access to continuous glucose monitoring technology, which has become a lucrative market for companies like Dexcom and Abbott.

This marks the first glucose biosensor not requiring a prescription, making it accessible to those without insurance coverage for CGMs. The device, to be available online this summer, offers real-time glucose tracking and lasts up to 15 days. Dexcom aims to provide a simpler experience tailored for Type 2 patients and plans to eventually secure insurance coverage for Stelo.
