[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This company is amazing. I had issues with the first device they sent and I’m not sure if their was an issue the the device or if I didn’t connect the two pieces correctly, but they were kind enough to send me a new one! It came I believe next day or the following day so I was impressed. I was super excited to try this because I feel as if I’m hypoglycemic often and I was finally able to see it with the super easy application. The adhesive is so unbelievably strong I have had zero issues with it even after long soapy showers, the Florida heat, and being a boy mom of two toddlers. I was so afraid the needle was going to sting but I didn’t even feel it going in at all! When I felt hypoglycemic I would check the app and I could see the spike first hand.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the lingo continuous glucose monitor for a while now and it’s honestly been eye opening. Even though I’m not diabetic, I was curious about my daily habits, especially food and stress, affect my blood sugar. This device made it incredibly easy to see that in real time. The set up was simple. The application was quick and easy and the app was hassle free. I highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor has made my life so much easier. I’m able to put it on and go without having to worry about things. It’s a great way to ease your mind and give you comfort.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not sure what any of this means just yet but it’s interesting to see how different types of food and exercise affect my blood sugar. The app is easy to use, and it has detailed instructions for how to apply the sensor. The first one I had never connected to the app and it was easy to request a free replacement. I was worried about the sensor hurting but it just has a very short and very fine needle. It’s a little uncomfortable but not painful. The sensor is small and unobtrusive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the product is interesting. I love being able to see how my body reacts to food and sleep and exercise. The app is easy to use and gives me helpful insights.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was fairly easy to snap into my arm, and mostly painless, however I could feel it for the first few days and bumping it did hurt. I thought I'd placed it directly on the back of my arm but soon realized it was a little too close to the inside and I had to be careful, so place it very carefully.
Entering meals and events is a bit of a learning curve. When entering, the time will auto populate, but not to the current time. It will populate to wherever the marker is on the graph. I think this is so you can more easily record past events, but it's something to note.
You can connect the app with Health Connect, so my blood glucose was transmitted to my macro tracker, but it would be helpful if the info I enter in my macro tracker could populate in the Lingo app. That would allow me to better track foods or events that cause spikes or dips.
If there is a spike, the lingo app will prompt you to enter an event at the time it assumes the event happened. However most of these suggestions came directly after an event I had already entered. Sometimes with just a one minute difference.
Readings over 200 or under 55 are not recorded. If you go outside of that range, the graph will fade out until you've reached readable levels again.
You can download a report to bring to your doctor however I don't think it included enough information. It shows what seems to be random readings, along with the date and time, but doesn't include meals or events to go along with them. For instance, I spent a good amount of time under the 55 range, but this was not reflected in the report.
All said, I'm glad I did this. It's a great tool to see where your levels are and how diet and exercise can affect it. The tips to improve your readings are helpful (although more importance is given to spikes rather than dips), and real lifestyle improvements can be made using this app.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed how easy it was to use the Lingo app. The 14 day battery got the job done and I enjoyed the low profile of the monitor. Not to mention the maintenance was no hassle, just pop it on and go!
