I believe xDrip works with it. I use it for my G6. The app is amazing, SO much better than the official Dexcom app.

- guiambros 2y agoMy understanding is that the Stelo doesn't offer an API, like the Dexcom G6/7 does. That is really unfortunate, because the default Dexcom apps are terrible (the Stelo app is slightly better / more modern, but has all the limitations of the Dexcom app, plus no calibration).
- geor9e 2y agoSo xDrip was created to completely skip the Dexcom APIs. With G4 we used a wixel microcontroller, to pass the proprietary radio signal to bluetooth. We'd carry it in our pockets in a tiktac case with a lipo. A graph of our blood sugar would show on our Pebble smartwatches at the time. Once Dexcom built Bluetooth into their transmitters, xDrip was then able to directly pair. There's a lot of smart people on the project, reverse engineering all the Dexcom protocols, and even some other brands of CGM. It does work with Stelo too. xDrip can then sync the data it collects to various APIs/websites. I've been a dexcom user since G4 and never once signed up for a Dexcom account or installed a Dexcom app - the open source stuff was always so much better.
- kotaKat 2y agoStelo is just a vaguely firmware-modified G7 that skips offering calibration and has slightly longer sensor life. xDrip's got 'em figured out and they'll happily fire up without an issue there. https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Dexcom/G7.html https://navid200.github.io/xDrip/docs/Dexcom/G7.html
