Oura Ring users can now unlock a powerful new health tool: AI-powered glucose tracking and meal logging. If you’ve been wondering how to track glucose with Oura or how Oura integrates with Dexcom’s CGM, you're in luck. Through its latest updates, Oura enhances metabolic health monitoring by allowing users to sync continuous glucose data and log meals effortlessly. These advancements come as part of a $75 million strategic investment from Dexcom, reinforcing Oura's commitment to personalized wellness, preventative care, and cutting-edge wearable technology.
Oura Partners with Dexcom to Introduce AI Glucose Tracking
The newly launched Glucose Tracking feature is a game-changer for users serious about managing metabolic health. To access it, Oura Ring owners must pair their device with the Dexcom Stelo continuous glucose monitor (CGM), priced at $99 and now conveniently available through Oura’s website. Once linked, the Oura app seamlessly displays glucose data alongside essential health metrics like stress levels, movement, and daily wellness tags.
Through the app’s AI-powered summaries, users gain actionable insights into their glucose patterns, helping them optimize diet and lifestyle choices for better blood sugar management. A key highlight is the "Time Above Range" metric, which tracks how long glucose levels exceed the ideal 70-140 mg/dL range — critical for anyone aiming to reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other metabolic disorders.
While currently exclusive to the United States due to regulatory guidelines, this feature supports FSA and HSA eligibility, making it more accessible for health-conscious consumers who prioritize preventive care spending.
AI-Driven Meal Logging: Smarter Nutrition Tracking with Oura Advisor
Beyond glucose tracking, Oura is innovating nutrition monitoring through its Meals feature, part of the Oura Labs experimental program. By leveraging generative AI, the Oura Advisor chatbot now analyzes meal photos submitted by users, offering detailed breakdowns of estimated macronutrients and overall nutritional value.
This AI analysis doesn’t stop at simple tracking. The Oura Advisor provides personalized suggestions for building more satisfying and balanced meals, aligning with user-defined health goals like weight loss, muscle gain, or blood sugar stabilization. Users who combine both Meals and Glucose Tracking features unlock an advanced "Meal Level Time Above Range" metric — showing exactly how meals affect glucose stability post-eating.
These non-judgmental, health-forward insights empower users to make smarter food choices and better understand the profound connection between diet, glucose, and overall wellness.
Why Metabolic Health is the Next Big Thing for Smart Rings
Oura’s pivot toward metabolic health reflects a broader trend in the wearable technology industry. As smart rings gain popularity among athletes, biohackers, and wellness enthusiasts, features like blood sugar tracking, sleep optimization, and stress management are becoming must-haves.
Competitors like Ultrahuman already offer CGM integrations, while Samsung’s Galaxy Ring experiments with metrics like the AGEs Index to assess metabolic aging. By incorporating Dexcom’s CGM technology and acquiring glucose tracking startups like Veri, Oura positions itself as a leader in next-generation wearable health solutions.
As consumer demand for continuous metabolic monitoring, personalized nutrition advice, and preventative health tools continues to rise, Oura’s investment ensures it stays at the forefront of this digital health revolution.
