SIGNOS VS. LEVELS

Signos vs Levels

Maintaining a healthy weight in today’s world feels like fighting an uphill battle. For decades, the only “tools” were a bathroom scale and diet fads that never stuck. Enter continuous glucose monitors (CGMs): wearable tech that shows you how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, and movement.

This shift is massive. Instead of guessing, you can see how a cookie, a HIIT class, or a bad night’s sleep actually hits your metabolism. And when you pair a CGM with the right program, you don’t just collect data; you turn it into action that moves the scale.

Two names dominate the space: Signos and Levels. Both use CGMs, but what they do with the data, how they support you, and what you pay for are very different stories.

First, What’s a CGM?

Think of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) as a tiny metabolic microscope. It’s a small sensor you place on your arm or stomach that tracks your glucose 24/7, through workouts, sleep, stressful meetings, and yes, even showers.

The device is painless to apply and stays put for 15 days before you swap it out.

 Instead of finger sticks and guesswork, you get a live feed of how your body is processing fuel. That’s powerful because glucose isn’t just about diabetes; it’s the front row view into your metabolism.

Why does that matter? Because stable glucose often means:Easier weight loss and long-term weight maintenanceMore consistent energy and mental focusBetter recovery and muscle-building potentialLess inflammation and stress on your systemLower risk of chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes

• Easier weight loss and long-term weight maintenance.
• More consistent energy and mental focus
• Better recovery and muscle-building potential
• Consistent energy and mental focus
• Less inflammation and stress on your system
• Lower risk of chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes

Here’s the kicker: studies show that even non-diabetics experience glucose spikes and dips far bigger than most people realize. And those swings affect everything from appetite and mood to fat storage. When you can finally see your personal patterns, you gain control.

Why Not Just Use a CGM Alone?

You could slap on a CGM, download the raw data, and try to figure it out yourself. But then you’re staring at graphs that raise more questions than answers:

• That post-lunch spike: should you avoid carbs forever?
• The dip at 2 a.m.: is it wrecking your energy the next day?
• The random climb after a stressful Zoom call: what does that even mean?

On its own, a CGM is just numbers. Without context, you’re left guessing which habits are helping, which are hurting, and what to do next.

That’s why programs like Signos and Levels exist. They take the raw data and layer on guidance, tools, and (depending on the program) real human expertise. Instead of obsessing over every line on a chart, you learn what actions actually move the needle for you: whether that’s adjusting meal timing, adding a short walk, or tweaking your workout intensity.

The result? Less “data overwhelm,” more metabolic clarity.

What CGMs are currently available?

Not all CGMs are created equal. In the U.S., two major players dominate the market: Dexcom and Abbott. For years, programs used their devices (like the Dexcom G7 or Abbott Freestyle Libre) to deliver glucose data.

But things have shifted. Both Signos and Levels now use the Stelo biosensor, the first over-the-counter (OTC) CGM cleared by the FDA for adults who don’t have diabetes. That’s a big deal: it means you no longer need a prescription just to get visibility into your metabolism.

Here's how it works:

• Continuous tracking: Stelo measures your glucose 24/7 and sends updates directly to your phone via Bluetooth.
• No finger sticks: The sensor sits under your skin and takes readings automatically, no manual scans required.
• Wear and forget: Each sensor lasts up to 15 days, stays secure through sleep, sweat, and showers, and swaps out as easily as a bandage.

Why does Stelo matter? It finally puts metabolic tracking into the hands of everyday people: anyone curious about weight, energy, or long-term health, not just those managing diabetes. With this step forward, programs like Signos and Levels can focus on the real differentiator: what they do with your data.

Levels: A Metabolic Snapshot

Levels is built for people who want to understand their metabolism, not necessarily change it with structured coaching. Think of it as a dashboard: clean, data-driven, and geared toward people who love experimenting with inputs like diet, training, and sleep.
‍
‍Who it’s for:
Athletes, biohackers, and the “quantified-self” crowd who want performance insights and metabolic awareness without a lot of handholding.

‍Sensor:
Levels exclusively uses the Stelo biosensor, the first FDA-cleared over-the-counter CGM for people without diabetes. Each sensor lasts up to 15 days, sends data automatically to your phone, and doesn’t require a prescription.and better, glucose data-driven accountability, you are likely more able to reach your health goals in a sustainable way that will persist over the long term.

App:

• Delivers your glucose readings in real-time.
• Generates “metabolic snapshots” after meals, workouts, and sleep to help you see how each factor impacts your body.
• Includes food logging, activity tracking, and integrations with Apple Health/Google Fit so you can layer in additional metrics.
• Puts the focus on patterns and personal discovery rather than prescriptive action.

Support:
Levels does have a nutritionist marketplace where you can book one-on-one coaching, but it comes at an extra cost. Support is optional, not built into the core program.

Pricing:

• $40/month if you go month-to-month
• $16.58/month if you pay $199 upfront for the year

The bottom line:
Levels is less of a guided program and more of a metabolic mirror. You’ll see what’s happening inside your body, but how you respond is mostly up to you. If you’re motivated, self-directed, and like to experiment, Levels gives you the raw material for discovery. But if you want accountability, coaching, or weight-loss specific guidance, you may find yourself looking elsewhere.

Signos: Personalized Coaching for Metabolic Change

While Levels focuses on self-tracking, Signos is designed for action. It’s built for people who want to lose weight, improve energy, or build better metabolic habits, and who value having real guidance along the way.

‍Who it’s for:
Anyone looking for weight loss support, sustainable habit change, or structured coaching, not just data. Ideal if you want accountability and a clear “what to do next” when your glucose spikes.

‍Sensor:
Like Levels, Signos uses the Stelo biosensor, the FDA-cleared OTC CGM for non-diabetics. Each sensor lasts up to 15 days, streams glucose data automatically to your phone, and stays on through workouts, showers, and sleep.

‍App:

• Translates your glucose readings into actionable recommendations in real time.
• Sends nudges when your glucose spikes, with suggestions like taking a short walk, adjusting meal timing, or balancing macros.
• Built-in weight loss and behavior tracking tools to align your choices with your goals.
• Fully integrated with food logging, workouts, and daily routines so you can see cause-and-effect without guesswork.

‍Support:
‍Unlike Levels, Signos includes direct access to registered dietitians and support staff as part of the program, with no extra fees. This means you’re not just interpreting numbers on your own; you have expert guidance to help turn patterns into lasting habits.

‍Pricing:
Signos offers two plan tiers: three months at $139/month or six months at $129/month.

Both plans include:

• 2 Stelo biosensors per month, shipped quarterly 
• Full access to the Signos app
• Coaching and support built into the program
• Coaching and support built into the program

The bottom line:
Signos is less about tracking and more about intervening in the moment. If your glucose spikes, the app doesn’t just show you the data; it tells you what to do. That makes it a better fit for people who want to lose weight, improve energy, and build lasting metabolic habits, with the safety net of professional support included.

How Your Personalized Plan Works

Here’s what it looks like in action with Signos:

1. You log a meal. For example: oatmeal with banana and honey.
2. Signos forecasts your glucose. Before the spike even happens, the app predicts how your body will respond.
3. You see the impact in real time. Your glucose graph shows a sharp rise.
4. You get a personalized nudge. The app suggests a short walk to help stabilize your glucose.
5. You take action. You log your activity, and your glucose levels return to a healthy range.
6. You learn. Over time, you discover which foods fuel you steadily and which trigger spikes, allowing you to make small, lasting changes.

Instead of trial and error, Signos gives you personalized feedback and practical steps so you can stay in control, improve energy, and hit your weight goals.

Bottom Line

Signos isn’t just another CGM app; it’s a complete metabolic health program. By combining real-time data, predictive alerts, and built-in expert coaching, Signos closes the gap between tracking your glucose and actually knowing what to do about it.

Instead of leaving you to interpret confusing graphs on your own, Signos turns raw numbers into clear, actionable steps you can take immediately, whether that’s adjusting a meal, going for a quick walk, or trying a new sleep routine. And because dietitians and nutritionists are included at no extra cost, you’re never left guessing about what changes will have the biggest impact.

This makes Signos especially powerful if your goal is:

Weight loss: Learn which foods trigger spikes and how to adjust your meals without rigid diets.
