Why Getting the STELO CGM from HEALDX is the Smarter Choice

Did you know that 88 million American adults—about 1 in 3—have pre-diabetes, and over 34 million are living with diabetes? These are staggering statistics, showing just how widespread metabolic diseases are in the U.S. What’s more alarming is that most people with pre-diabetes are unaware they have it. This lack of awareness often leads to full-blown diabetes, which is associated with long-term health complications and hefty medical expenses.

Managing diabetes or pre-diabetes is not just about monitoring your blood sugar; it requires an integrated approach involving nutrition, exercise, medication, and regular consultations with health professionals. Currently, the management of these pieces is fragmented—patients often need separate apps to track blood sugar, monitor nutrition, consult a doctor, and make sense of test results. Add in constant doctor visits, prescription renewals, and insurance headaches, and the process becomes overwhelming.

That’s where the STELO CGM from HEALDX comes in as the smarter solution, offering a seamless, all-in-one platform to help manage or reverse diabetes.

1. A Proactive Approach to Reversing Diabetes

Research shows that metabolic conditions like pre-diabetes and diabetes are both preventable and reversible with the right intervention. Unfortunately, many people don’t take action until their condition has worsened. With the STELO CGM and HEALDX, you can be proactive rather than reactive.

By continuously monitoring your glucose levels, you can make real-time adjustments to your diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle. This proactive approach not only improves your health but also saves you from the enormous costs associated with the complications of unmanaged diabetes.

2. Simplified Health Management

Unlike the fragmented systems most people rely on—one app for glucose tracking, another for nutrition, plus frequent visits to different healthcare providers—HEALDX provides everything you need in one platform:

• STELO CGM for continuous glucose monitoring without needing a doctor’s prescription.

• Integrated with the Heald app to track your nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and stress levels.

• Smart scales to monitor BMI and other vitals.

• Blood tests to check for micronutrient deficiencies.

• Access to meal plans, AI-driven suggestions, and exercise plans tailored to your health needs.

By consolidating everything in one place, you avoid the confusion of managing multiple systems while also gaining real-time insights that empower you to take control of your health.

3. Financial Freedom: Cut Down on Medical Expenses

Let’s be honest: traditional health insurance often doesn’t support proactive measures like continuous monitoring. Instead, you’re left to cover expensive doctor visits, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses for diabetes complications.

With STELO CGM from HEALDX, you can skip the doctor’s visits and use your FSA/HSA dollars, saving 20-30% in pre-tax income on essential health devices and services. By addressing diabetes or pre-diabetes before complications arise, you avoid the steep costs of hospitalization, surgeries, and medication that would otherwise drain your retirement funds.
