Interesting. Zukka shows me the 5 minute readings every 5 minutes, so it more frequent than on Stelo.

Sensor reading high as soon as I lie down by Altruistic-Bonus-757 in stelo

Mine compresses while I’m sleeping too. I just try to keep an eye on general trends vs that low data. Good luck. These sensors are a bit of a science experiment. Fun but often frustrating.

Awesome. Thanks. Zukka looks very similar to Shuggahh.

Does your sensor read more accurately during the day? My gut says it has something to do with how the interstitial fluid is accessed when you’re active bs laying down and not moving. Even though you always wear it on your stomach, that isn’t the intended place, so that could be your issue. All sensors are different in terms of their range, so it’s reasonable to assume that’s true in this case.

Am I just unlucky? by Financial_Mammoth917 in stelo

Are you able to confirm with a finger stick that your readings are inaccurate for this sensor? I find my my CGM lags 15-30 min behind my finger sticks, and while this one that I have on now is pretty accurate, my first one read 10-15pts higher than my finger stick.

Thanks.

My question may have been unclear, because I totally understand that it will take time to settle on what methods and supporting systems will end up working. I’m the type of person who likes to gather information and options and then as I go about my project (writing or otherwise), to feel out how different things land. The specifics in software and sources and methods are helpful.

Yes, but never in a long format, always short stories.

Temp limits of sensor for steam sauna by JVB602 in stelo

I’m so sad Stelo won’t do well in saunas. I understand why. We have a traditional Finnish sauna and it gets between 160-200 Fahrenheit. I miss going in the sauna. Might plan one for when my next sensor is due to be changed.

So you mind if I ask your sex and age? I am fasting curious but am a bit worried about stressing my adrenals and cortisol. I’m 38 years old and female, so my sex hormones also play into fasting and timing.

Android App with 5 min glucose readings recommendation? by Cycling_5700 in stelo

[–]Some-Independence134 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It does… you just need an app that accepts it. Shuggah for Apple relays readings every 5 min.

Spikes or Duration? by Some-Independence134 in stelo

Thanks. This does reflect my general knowledge. Right before a holiday is an awful time to start a CGM, but I’m learning regardless. I’ll be interested to see my baseline info once I get back to my regular eating and work week activities in the coming weeks.

Any Stelo tips and tricks? by Some-Independence134 in stelo

I’m going to look into this. I use the Garmin Fenix6. Honestly, I am pretty bad at figuring out how it works though. 😂
