Disappointed that it didn’t last
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: MeganO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for the Lingo Continuous Glucose Monitor, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. While the application process was simple, I experienced repeated issues during the first few days trying to get it to connect. I frequently received an error stating the bio sensor could not be detected, and had to restart my phone and toggle Bluetooth multiple times before it finally worked.
Once connected, it was interesting to see my glucose data, but I found the app lacking clear guidance on how to interpret the readings. There was also very little direction for logging meals, or activity, which made it harder to fully understand the data.
Most disappointing was that the bio sensor fell off prematurely (4 days). When I checked it, the needle was bent with dry blood, which was concerning. Overall, this experience left me frustrated and I would not recommend this product, especially considering the cost.

Easy to use and painless
on March 31, 2026
Posted by: LisaB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always been curious if I have low blood sugar or not because I get super shaky and sick sometimes, so I tried this product. I was surprised to see when I felt that way, my blood sugar was actually within normal ranges, so that was interesting. It was also very interesting to see what foods spiked and dropped my blood sugar and I avoided those more. It was incredibly easy and painless to insert- and I’m a huge baby! If I can do it, anyone can. I didn’t notice it was there. The adhesive is incredibly sticky. After about a week it started to itch sometimes, but not bad. Otherwise it wasn’t a bother at all and didn’t get snagged on clothes or anything. The app was super easy to use, anyone can do it. It was really cool to try out!

Not the biggest fan
on March 30, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not to fond of this could not get the app to work with device. I was super uncomfortable with the size and the way you wear it on your arm. It made a pretty big hole with needle when u put it on your arm. Not so reliable with this machine. Needs a little help connecting and maybe a better replacement that does not gouge the skin

A game-changer for understanding how your body reacts to food.
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: JanainaB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m testing the Lingo Glucose Biosensor and I’m shocked. It’s shows in real time how my body reacts to every food. Even things I thought were okay are causing glucose spikes. Perfect for anyone who wants to better understand their own body and energy levels, and even to help with healthy eating. Technology that really makes a difference. It’s not just for diabetics, it’s more focused on lifestyle and preventive health. It usually lasts about 14 days. Things I loved : no need to prick your finger, very comfy, real time data, very modern / high tech and really helps with mindful eating. Cost it’s reasonable for what it offer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lingo Continuous Glucose Monitor is so easy to use and gives me some good info to follow! Once you open the package, get the Biosensor ready & clean your arm with alcohol wipe, open the Biosensor packand u screw cap from the Applicator, line up the applicator & the pack & press down firmly until it clicks then lift out the applicator, place applicator on back of arm and push down firmly to apply the biosensor. Gently pull off the applicator and put cap on and dispense. Now download the Lingo Biosensor app and follow the directions to get started. Once everything is complete and your account is ready, you have to have the Biosensor on for an hour before any settings will show. Once the hour is up, it will alert you and you can see you numbers. This biosensor is setup for a 2 week period to help you get into good health habits, personalize reports, insights tailored for you and minute by minute glucose datasent to your phone. The app gives you daily info, challenges, tutorials, recipes & daily fundamentals for a personalized approach to good nutrition!

Easy to use CGM for first timers
on March 29, 2026
Posted by: MirandaD
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first CGM I have tried. Overall it was super easy to apply thanks to the instructions and did not hurt. The area was sore the first day or so after application, but not bad. It stayed on all 14 days and made it through hot showers and multiple work outs. I even bumped it a time or two while changing and it stayed on. The app was easy to use and there are even challenges you can do. Honestly I didn’t do any as I was confused how to start one. I liked that you can add in when you worked out, what you were doing and for how long to see how your glucose responded. The food portion could have been better. The on part that bothered me is turning on and off my Bluetooth every time I opened the app, but overall I liked it and will purchase more in the future.
