Enhanced Smart Food Logging experience now provides nutritional breakdown of meals
Last year, Dexcom introduced AI-driven Smart Food Logging in Stelo, the first over-the-counter glucose biosensor cleared1 by the FDA in the United States. Now the company has expanded this feature by integrating a comprehensive nutrition database that provides a breakdown of calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, dietary fibers, and more, for each logged meal, helping users better understand how food impacts their glucose and empowering them to make more informed dietary decisions. The database includes over one million food options with multiple ways to log a meal, including text search, barcode scanning or taking a photo of the meal, creating a seamless and intuitive meal tracking solution.
"When we launched Smart Food Logging last summer, our goal was to provide users with a simple and effective way to consistently log meals and understand how those meals had an impact on their glucose," said Girish Naganathan, executive vice president and chief technology officer at Dexcom. "We listened closely to the feedback and are excited to further enhance this highly requested feature in Stelo. The latest update will eliminate nutrition tracking friction so users can make informed, health-conscious decisions and achieve health goals with even greater confidence."
Understanding the role of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats is essential for maintaining healthy glucose levels. After using Stelo for 30 days, the majority of users indicated positive changes in their dietary and eating patterns, and improvements in physical activity and weight-management habits.2,3 By learning how different foods and specific macronutrients impact glucose levels with Stelo, users will be empowered with even more information to better understand and manage their metabolic health.
"Living with type 2 diabetes has forced me to slow down and pay attention to my health," said Mike Golic Sr., sports broadcaster, former professional football defensive tackle and Stelo ambassador. "Before Stelo, I was guessing how different foods affected my glucose—now I actually know. What excites me most about the latest update to Smart Food Logging is that it's going to make managing my health even more seamless. This isn't just about better technology—it's about giving people the information to stay ahead of their metabolic health instead of always playing catch-up."
Stelo will also launch a redesigned Daily Insights feature which will introduce a new interface with a sophisticated, card-based system. Users will receive up to three personalized recommendations based on their previous day's glucose, activity, nutrition, and sleep data. Each insight will highlight key individual metrics and provide contextual understanding.
A fourth card will use behavioral science techniques to help users reflect on and act upon their metabolic health insights. The feature uses AI to maintain day-over-day context, ensuring consistent and evolving personalized coaching that adapts to individual patterns and progress.
Stelo users will be able to access the enhanced Smart Food Logging and redesigned Daily Insights features by updating to the latest version of the app* on iOS and Android platforms in the coming weeks.
Dexcom is bringing these new features to Stelo as it finishes development and regulatory approvals for a completely reimagined Stelo app experience, launching later this year.
