Activity and performance
Get movin’ and groovin’ with these active ideas and challenges to see how movement supports your glucose goals with Stelo.*
Step into steady
Keep an eye on your daily step count in your favorite activity tracking app. Aim for just 1,000 more steps than yesterday and compare in your Stelo app how these small increases in movement help steady your glucose throughout the week.
Pro tip: When you connect your Apple Health‡ or Google Health Connect‡ with Stelo—your steps per day will show up directly in your Stelo app.
- What to watch for: Smoother daily glucose trends, fewer post-meal spikes.
- Why it matters: Movement helps your body use glucose more efficiently—your data will show the difference.

Small moves, steady gains
Squeeze in a set of desk squats or chair dips when you have a few minutes of down time—then check your glucose in the Stelo app to see how even short bursts of movement can help keep things steady. Small actions, real impact—your data shows the difference.
- What to watch for: A dip or stabilization in glucose after short bursts of movement.
- Why it matters: Even micro-movements can help regulate glucose and boost energy.

- What to watch for: Reduced post-lunch spikes, steadier afternoon levels.
- Why it matters: Gentle movement helps digestion and supports glucose balance.

Movement master
Movement after meals can help avoid glucose spikes.
Let’s give it a try and see how much simple movement after a meal can impact your personal glucose levels. Step into better glucose health by taking a 10-minute walk within 30 minutes of eating. Use Stelo to compare walking days vs. non-walking days. Chances are that your glucose levels may not spike as high on walking days versus non-walking days. We challenge you to find out for yourself.
- What to watch for: Lower post-meal spikes, quicker return to baseline.
- Why it matters: Post-meal movement helps your body manage glucose more effectively.

Sunshine + movement
Take your workout outdoors and soak in some sunshine. Log your activity in the Stelo app and track your glucose to see how movement—and a little fresh air—can support steadier levels.
- What to watch for: Improved mood and steadier glucose trends.
- Why it matters: Fresh air and movement are a powerful combo for metabolic health.

Find your best fit
Try experimenting with different types of movement—like yoga, walking, swimming, strength training, dancing—to see how different types of activity affect your glucose stability using Stelo.
You might notice that yoga helps with calming dips, walking supports steady post-meal levels, or strength training causes a short spike followed by improved balance later. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s learning how your body responds, so you can choose movement that best supports your goals.
- What to watch for: Signs of stability like gentle rises, smooth returns to baseline, or fewer sharp spikes.
- Why it matters: Different activities affect glucose differently—find what supports your glucose goals, energy, and mood.

Fuel check
Use Stelo to explore how a pre-workout snack affects your glucose and energy. Eat a small carb-rich snack—like half a banana or a piece of almond butter toast—before your workout one day, and skip it the next. Track your glucose response with Stelo, watching for differences in glucose fluctuation during and after the workout, how stable it stays during the workout, and how you feel during and afterward.
- What to watch for: Energy levels, glucose spikes or dips, or steadier curves depending on fueling.
- Why it matters: Knowing your body’s response will help you personalize your fueling strategy to support better performance, energy, and glucose balance.
