This means Stelo will be accessible to people who do not have insurance coverage for CGMs, Dexcom said.
There are more than 25 million Type 2 diabetes patients in the U.S. that do not use insulin, according to the release from Dexcom.
Dexcom shared Stelo's name, as well as the fact that the device had been submitted to the FDA for review in February.
Jake Leach, chief operating officer at Dexcom, told CNBC in February that Stelo will have its own unique platform and branding.
Leach said as Dexcom is able to demonstrate the benefits of Stelo, the company believes insurance companies will eventually pay for it.
