How Do I Remove the Stelo Sensor When it Expires?
Your Stelo sensor is designed to track your glucose levels for a full 15 days. After this period, your sensor will expire, and you'll receive a message within your Nutrisense and Stelo apps notifying you that it's time for a replacement. You'll have a convenient 12-hour grace period to choose the best time to apply your next sensor.
How to Check Your Sensor's Remaining Time
Want to see how much time you have left with your current sensor? It's simple! Just follow these steps:
- Open the Stelo app.
- Select "Settings."
- Click "Sensor" from the settings menu.
Here, you'll easily find the exact number of days remaining on your current sensor.
How to Remove Your Sensor
When you're ready to replace your sensor, follow these easy steps for safe removal:
- Gently pinch a small part of the adhesive patch that is attached to your skin.
- Slowly pull the adhesive up and toward the center of your Stelo sensor until it comes off easily, like a bandage.
- Once removed, wrap the used Stelo device (the sensor itself) in a tissue, toilet paper, or a paper towel. You can then safely dispose of it in your regular trash. There's no needle in the sensor, so it's completely safe to throw out!
