Lingo by Abbott | 2-week CGM | Wearable Glucose Tracker | See your Glucose Response to Food, Exercise, Sleep | Continous Glucose Monitor & App to Support your Health Goals | For iPhone & UK Only

This is a fantastic product. Easy to attach the sensor to your body i never felt anything as it went on. Easy clear instructions to set up and use. Once the app is downloaded its very self explanatory. This educated me so much on my eating habits. The foods that raised my glucose were surprising and not the foods i thought would do this. I have already implemented small changes to my diet that have made a difference to my glucose levels. The data stream is easy to see and understand on your phone. Its is so helpful to see the effect some foods can have on your body in real time. This sensor encouraged me to be a bit more active too. This sensor can be pricy but I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to instil changes to their wellbeing in relation to food/glucose levels. This is not just a gadget but a helpful tool designed to make you aware of your food/drink/exercise and how it impacts your body. It also gives helpful advice on changes and allows you to set goals if you wish.

The instructions do not clearly explain that the application device is spring-loaded. As it is not immediately apparent how the device will deploy, the natural thing to do is investigate, before putting it against your arm. The spring-loaded deployer then activates on the tabletop. I tried to push it against my arm anyhow, but just bent the needle so a load of money was wasted thanks to poor-quality instructions which are in tiny print. It did say, don't touch the applicator, but I assumed that was with regards to sterilisation, not that it was spring-loaded to deploy at the slightest touch! I love the concept of the device, but they could do more to ensure our money is not wasted. Hopefully, this review will save others the frustration I am feeling.

Such as useful health tool. Helped me see what affects my glucose; when it drops and when it is high so I could adjust my diet accordingly to help manage my health better. It is pretty accurate and the results definitely aligned with how I feel with certain foods etc. Simple to apply and to remove and lasted two weeks as stated. Easy to set up and app has lots of helpful advice and features. It is expensive but worth it as it gave me lots of useful insights that has helped me change my individual eating habits making me feel so much better; such as avoiding causes of the extreme tiredness I was feeling, which I had learned was linked to certain foods. Would recommend, even if just as a one off to look at potential aspects affecting glucose.

The biosensor and app are really easy to set up and use. You download the app and then apply the biosensor to the back of the arm (which is also very easy to do and painless) and then you’re all set up and ready to go! It’s really useful and gives great insight into your body/glucose levels and how you react to certain foods, exercise or stress, allowing you to change the way you think and eat to be healthier. 10/10

I was selected to test the lingo glucose biosensor. It was easy and painless to apply, slightly uncomfortable after it was first applied but that soon settled. The biosensor was also easy to connect to the app too. Unfortunately after that I wasn’t too impressed, the app tracks your glucose levels but requires a lot of input from the user and there is much output or explanations for rises or falls. I use a lot of health apps to track various conditions and for the price I expected more. I wouldn’t pay nearly £60 for one sensor. #hometesterclub

Don’t bother buying, the app is badly designed. If your sugar levels spike it doesn’t give you any readings above 11 so you still have to use your manual machine for a reading. If anything stick to Libre sensor at least it gives more information.

So we tried this product on my wife and were not sure what to expect. Firstly she has been wearing the biosensor for over a week now and it has shown no signs of coming off I honestly thought after a couple of showers it would eventually fall off. The results are such an eye opener it really does work . She has noticed spikes after eating certain foods and also through the night. It has prompted her to make a Doctors appointment to get checked for Diabetes due to times where she has felt ill/weak and noticed a drop on the App and then after eating it leveling out. Such a fantastic product and very interesting as to how our body works. Finger crossed she does not have Diabetes but it’s something she has been suffering with for a couple of months now and the lingo Biosensor has given her a better insight as to what’s going on. Overall really impressed and also we had no idea products like this were available more people need to know about it.

Brilliant insight into your glucose levels. The sensor was very easy to apply and the 7mm needle isn't noticeable when it's applied. It's also water resistant and stayed firmly in place during my two daily showers. Not sure how it would do submerged in a bath though. The app is very user friendly and easy to understand which came in handy for making different choices in my diet. Would thoroughly recommend if your looking to make healthier lifestyle choices.
