Summary

  • About 1 in 3 American adults has pre-diabetes and over 34 million have diabetes, yet most people with pre-diabetes don't know they have it.

  • The STELO CGM from HEALDX lets you monitor glucose continuously without a doctor's prescription, so you can make proactive, real-time changes to diet and exercise instead of reacting after complications arise.

  • HEALDX combines the STELO CGM with the Heald app, smart scales, blood tests, meal plans, and nutritionist and endocrinologist support in one platform, replacing the fragmented mix of separate apps and appointments.

  • You can pay for STELO CGM and HEALDX with FSA/HSA dollars, saving 20-30% in pre-tax income while potentially avoiding the higher long-term costs of unmanaged diabetes.

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.

4. Real-Time Data and Personalization

The STELO CGM offers real-time glucose monitoring, giving you immediate feedback on your lifestyle choices. This allows you to:

  • See how certain foods impact your glucose levels.

  • Adjust your physical activity to control blood sugar spikes.

  • Make sleep and stress management decisions based on data.

This kind of personalized health management is not available through traditional insurance coverage, where you only address issues after they happen. With HEALDX, you can make changes as you go, ensuring better long-term health.

5. Comprehensive Support with HEALDX

Managing diabetes involves more than just glucose monitoring; it’s about understanding the data and adjusting your lifestyle accordingly. That’s why HEALDX doesn’t stop with the STELO CGM. It offers:

  • Nutritionist support to help you create meal plans that align with your health goals.

  • Regular check-ins with endocrinologists who specialize in glucose management.

  • Wearable devices to track physical activity, BMI, and sleep.

With this kind of comprehensive support, managing or reversing diabetes becomes far less daunting.

By investing in the STELO CGM through HEALDX, you’re making a smarter choice for both your health and your finances. You get the tools, support, and real-time data needed to manage or reverse pre-diabetes and diabetes—all while avoiding the hidden costs of traditional healthcare.

Save on insurance hassles, prevent future complications, and take control of your health now.
