You Can Now Monitor Meals and Glucose With The Oura Ring: What to Know (2025)

The Oura ring is praised for its ability to track all things health and wellness—everything from sleep quality to stress levels and much more. Now, you can track your metabolic health too with new features that let you monitor your blood sugar levels and gain nutritional insights! Keep reading for everything to know about Oura’s latest advancements.

Oura introduces meal and glucose monitoring

ŌURA, maker of the famous smart ring, announced two new metabolic health features: Meals and Glucose. The new AI-driven functions combine meal and glucose data from Stelo by Dexcom, the first FDA-cleared glucose biosensor available without a prescription in the U.S., directly in the Oura App.

After months of testing and feedback in Oura Labs, Meals is now a permanent feature in the Oura App. Here’s how it works: wearers take a picture, log their food and see how effectively their meals and snacks fuel them through AI-powered food recognition and comprehensive nutrition analysis focused on macronutrients (and not calorie count).

The process is quick, too! When members take or upload photos of their meals in the Oura App, dishes are analyzed to provide an immediate overview of its contents. Then, Oura Advisor provides guidance and feedback on nutritional choices so members can learn how to build satiating, nutrient-dense meals to avoid energy slumps and cravings.

Meals also includes a Nutrition Breakdown component, which categorizes key nutritional elements like protein, fiber, processing level, added sugars, total fats and carbs to provide an at-a-glance summary.

As for glucose monitoring, ŌURA is extending its partnership with Dexcom so members can now purchase a Stelo (a small biosensor worn on the back of the upper arm) directly from ouraring.com to receive constant glucose insights.

Within the Glucose feature in the Oura App, contextual graphs and insights from Oura Advisor help members understand the interplay between meals, stress, daily movement, tags and glucose so members can learn lifestyle habits that help them maintain or achieve optimal glucose levels.

The feature will also provide a new key metric, “Time Above Range,” which tracks how long glucose stays above the target range and provides an AI-powered analysis of glucose trends for that day.

How much do the new Oura features cost?

New and existing Oura members will be able to purchase Stelo directly from ouraring.com for $99. Each Stelo order includes two sensors for a wear-time of up to 15 days each. Stelo can be purchased bundled with or without a ring and will be available in the US only. Both Oura Ring and Stelo are eligible for purchase with FSA/HSA funds.

Meals and Glucose will initially be available on iOS and Android devices for Oura members based in the U.S., with plans to launch Meals internationally later this year.
