How do I remove and replace my Stelo Glucose Biosensor?

Your biosensor can be worn for up to 15 days.1 When your session ends, you’ll also have a 12-hour grace period to replace it when it works best for you. If your session times out, the app will let you know it’s time to start a new one.
To end your session early:
  1. Open the app and tap Settings
  2. Tap Sensor
  3. Choose one of these options:
    1. Replace Sensor to start a new biosensor right away
    2. Stop Sensor Session to end your current session without starting a new one
To remove and replace your biosensor:
  1. Gently peel off your current biosensor like a bandage
  2. Insert a new biosensor and apply a new overpatch using the in-app steps
  3. Use the app to confirm insertion and pair your biosensor by scanning the QR code
  4. Once paired, your biosensor will begin warming up
Need a quick refresher? You can find step-by-step insertion and overpatch instructions right in the app. Once your new biosensor is paired, warm-up begins and you’re all set.
1 Sensor Survival Clarifying Statement: A study was conducted to assess the sensor life where 77.9% of sensors lasted the full 15 days. In other words, when using the product per the package labeling, approximately 20% of sensors may not last for the full 15 days, 10% of these sensors may last less than 12 days.
