Great product and easy to apply
on September 21, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lingo was way easier to put on then I expected! I was so nervous about the pain, but it was virtually painless. I felt silly after for being so nervous! It was comfortable to keep on, but eventually the stickiness wore off and it did pull off before the 2 weeks was done. The app was easy to use and I enjoyed seeing the data collected. I’d be interested in doing it again and using it for a longer period of time. For the data collected I think it’s worth the price!

Easier to use than expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a history of diabetes in my family, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to take the time to measure my blood sugar levels. It was a nice comfort to see I’m within normal ranges. The app is extremely easy to use. My favorite part was how it shows you step by step how to set up the monitor. You will have no problem getting things set up!

Pretty good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting to try a CGM, but I didnt even know where to start. I was very excited to try this device. You need the app. Its fairly simple to use. You can joirnal your food. You have to enter what you ate, stressful happy or a moment of emotional change, and what time so you can see what causes spikes. I found it very helpful in understand how certain food affects me. Stress would also cause extreme spikes. The part that stays on your arm. Theres a thin, small guage needle that stays in your skin. It wasnt uncomfortable. But I was extra aware of not bumping into anything. If I layed on it or leaned on it it was a little uncomfortable. The adhesive part only last 1 wk then began loosening. I used KT tape to keep it from falling out/off. All in all it a very useful device to add to your daily health journey. Ive purchased another two weeks.

Better options available

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd recommend 3 other CGMs before I recommend this one. First thing, it doesn't stay on for a full 2 weeks if you live anywhere humid or warm. It only works if you leave the app open constantly and it will disconnect whenever your phone updates, restarts, or you have to use airplane mode. I could never get any alerts when my glucose dropped. Most any american health insurance will cover most of the cost of a much better monitor.

Great insight into glucose levels
on September 16, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really enjoying this CGM! I’ve always wanted to try one but was scared it would hurt to put it on. The pain was minimal and I love the insight into my glucose levels throughout the day! It’s painless once inserted and connects to the app seamlessly. I would definitely use it again in the future!

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how easy this was to use and how informative! The process was super simple and the set up was so easy. The data showed up an hour after and connecting it to my phone was so easy literally just a tap. The data is something I really love since I am seeing what affects my glucose and by how much. I would get this product again

Painless, small, easy to set up
on September 15, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will start with sharing that I was being a little hesitant to start using the lingo device because I was anticipating it being painful to apply. I let it sit in the box for so long after purchasing because I was nervous. I kid you not, there was ZERO pain upon applying. I had to double check that I’d even applied it to my arm because I was in so much disbelief….so, all of that worrying for nothing! I want to assure everyone who’s wanting to try this, but is hesitant about the needle part…you won’t feel it at all. The app is easy to connect, you just hold your phone close to the sensor on your arm, like you are scanning an at at the grocery store. Inside the app, you will find your data being tracked, you can set goals for yourself, there are informational articles on healthy eating/living, free recipes, and even fun challenges you can join to make if feel more competitive. It has a pretty slim profile, but one thing I would like to see in the future is cute, pattern designs to really make it match my personality. It also doesn’t give alerts, so you should use this only to help track your own data trends and make changes to your diet. It’s more of a biohacking tool for learning about your own body and how to improve daily habits and not to alarm you of sudden spikes or drops in glucose. But it’s convenient and comfortable to wear and be able to track your own glucose trends, as a consumer. The adhesive was strong and non irritating to me. I forgot that I was wearing the device.

Easy to use glucose monitor
on September 14, 2026
Posted by: MeganK
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve loved using this glucose monitor and being able to track my glucose levels. It was easy to apply and stayed on without falling off. It’s easy to use and it was really cool being able to see what things affected my glucose levels. I would prefer it to be more discreet and not have to wear it on the back of my arm. I also wish it would give more information on what all the data means. It’s an awesome thing to have though if you want more insight on your health data. Definitely have loved using this!
