Citi reports that Dexcom's over-the-counter glucose monitor, Stelo, is outperforming Abbott's Lingo in early uptake. Stelo's earlier launch has contributed to its success. Additionally, app downloads for Dexcom's G7 monitor reached record highs in August, following a slow start earlier in the year. In contrast, Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 faced challenges with app downloads in May and June. Year-to-date, Dexcom shares have dropped approximately 47%, while Abbott's shares have increased by about 3%.
