  They offered a replacement for me and refused to issue the refund, however, that does not make sense at all as I purchased two of their products and they are not working at all, why would I expect a replacement of a product which is not working?

  I do not want your replacement at all, I need fully refund because your product is not working at all, you are selling me a product which is not working, that is scam.

  I had purchased a subscription of stelo through Dexcom. I received the first 3 months. I wanted to wait a little bit longer before the 2nd shipment as it is expensive. I did not receive a notification through my email about the 2nd shipment. I was notified through my email that the item was on order and would be shipping yesterday June 22, 2025. I cancelled what I thought was time enough and was successful. The company had already took out ****** out of my account yesterday. I called the company and they said there was nothing the company could do. This is bad for the consumer who gets screwed and I couldn't get a refund. I told them that I didn't want it and would ship it back but they turned it down.

  I have purchased twice a three month supply of Stelo Continuous Glucose Monitors as insurance does no pay. Stelo is made by Dexcom. I follow all guidelines when using the device to include taking extra precaution when taking a shower to have it covered to try and keep it dry. At the beginning of June, I believe it was June 4, I inserted a new monitor. On June 6 it started acting erratically, On June 7 it registered I was below a 70 reading which I never am and on June 8 the monitor stopped early and I received a message on the app this had happened. I have tried twice thru their Stelo *** to get resolution for a new monitor and once thru e-mail They advised the could not confirm my issue and thus they would not be sending a replacement monitor. I have photos of the readings from those days but have no way to send them to them as the really the only way to communicate is through the *** which is not human and does not allow for uploads or an other communication than basically yes or no answers, so I cannot provide this evidence to them. I tried through the email that they sent me but it bounced back. It is not my fault they cannot confirm my issue. By saying they cannot and not providing a replacement, they are basically calling me a liar. The photos are too big for the BBB as only 5MG are allowed although I did send one where it started acting erratically. I did not spend $82 for a monitor that failed. I request a replacement. Case Number 1-00279366

  It's hard to conclude that these people are anything other than criminals. We pay over $1k every quarter for Dexcom supplies. Every quarter we have at least a half dozen G7 Sensors that fail. This has been true for over 6 years now, going back to their prior versions.They've always had an online way to report these failed sensors, but for the last year that form has been broken. Each quarter I go through the painstaking process of entering all of the details for the failure, but when you go to submit the form all it says is "Error." For a year now!After spending 20 minute filling out their forms, I then have to call. But now they are telling me that we are out of our "good will" allotment of replacements. So I buy your $1k product, it fails, and you consider it "good will" to replace it? No, I consider that the very baseline of ethics.I've now spent an hour of my time arguing with these people about replacing THEIR faulty equipment - all to no avail.

  On June 16, 2025 I inserted and began using my Stelo CGM. It appeared to be working well for the first 2 days. It then failed on the 3rd day (6/18/25), I was getting odd readings and it would not connect to my phone via bluetooth. I contacted Stelo via a chatbot (the only option) and was prompted to fill out a product form including the serial number which I completed. I was assigned case 1-00278518. A day later I received an email from Stelo asking me to complete this product form again, however, I no longer have the Serial number because I removed the sensor from my arm and threw it away and stopped the session via the app. But, they should already have this information. If they are going to advertise their product in the way they do and charge $99 they need to back it up with reasonable customer service. There should be someone I can call to get a replacement product. These sensors should be replaced for free whenever they fail. We, as customers, are not purchasing products that do not work. It should not be legal to operate in this way. I do plan to escalate with an attorney and also find another maker of a ***. I would like a sensor replacement asap.

  Purchased what I thought was a single unit to test product. Apparently they made it a subscription which is not clear on their website and sent me a second pair of glucose monitoring units. I only one of the first two since the readings were highly in accurate, I could do the same on my own by assuming that when I eat my glucose goes up. They refused to let me return the new devices.

  I purchased 2 Stelo by Dexcom sensors last month. When they arrived, they would not pair to my phone. The company was kind enough to send me one replacement, but it also was faulty. I completed all of their troubleshooting, and it still did not resolve the issue. I am seeking a refund at this point, which their support refused to do, stating that all sales are final. This should not be the case for faulty products. I should add that I used 4+ of the sensors before that, and they worked wonderfully. I had no issues until this bad batch. I will not be continuing my subscription.

  Company stated iOS update was the reason for not being able to pair. They say their system is not yet compatible with the newest version of iOS that my phone is on. I am still seeking a refund for the sensors that did not pair because they cannot be reinserted.

  On March 15th I switched over from the dexacom G6 to G7 where I received a 90day supply from my local pharmacy. Of the 9 sensors I received I only had 1 successful 10 day period where I had no issues with the sensor I depend on to keep me alive and healthy. 8 of the sensors Ive used lasted less than 10 days and have been wildly inaccurate. Today my G7 read at 40-60mmDl for several hours, I was unable to calibrate as I was out getting errands done. I started noticing muscle spasms throughout my body and eventually started vommiting before heading home today. When I returned home to calibrate my blood sugar was over 297 while my dexacom showed 62. The dexacom would not accept my calibrations after ending my last senor on only day 3 of use. Ive experienced similar issues with the other 7 sensors in my 90 day supply, either reading low or reading high causing my omnipod insulin pump to give me insulin until I experienced a dangerous hypo episode. Dexacom G7 has been nothing but a dangerous failure so far.

  Canceled my subscription right after my first shipment as I had an allergic reaction to the products. Now without warning my cancelled subscription is getting another order and my card was charged again. At this point, I want the recent order cancelled, credit back to my card and a refund for my previous order that I was unable to use due to a reaction. This is around $500. They obviously still have my card on file so Id like those orders credited back asap
