11 Best Continuous Glucose Monitors Available in India

5. Dexcom Stelo / OTC-style options — easier purchase in some regions

Some newer CGM models have been positioned for easier consumer access in parts of the world, including over-the-counter availability that removes one barrier to purchase. Dexcom's Stelo and other OTC-style offerings have been discussed in major tech and health outlets as ways to broaden access. For users in India, an easier purchase can be helpful, especially when timely access matters during travel or between clinic visits. The trade-off can include differences in after-sales support, app feature parity, or limited local service networks. Before purchasing an OTC-style device, verify whether Indian import regulations, prescription requirements, or CDSCO registrations apply. It is wise to confirm that mobile app features (alerts, trend-sharing) work fully in India and that you can get genuine sensors and replacements from a reliable source.
