Very effective and innovative monitor!
on August 25, 2026
Posted by: ElizabethL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor is amazing. It measures glucose level continuously in real time! Very innovative! I can look at the app on my phone and see my glucose level/trend at any time. It is about the size of a quarter. Close to painless when applying it. Next time, I will place it a little differently on my arm because if you lie on the sensor it sometimes can’t give a correct reading. It works by measuring the glucose in the interstitial fluid. I was aware of it on my arm for the first few hours but then it was comfortable. This is a great monitor for wellness and you never have to prick your finger. It graphs the numbers and trends right on the phone app. Also very affordable for such an innovative product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lingo glucose monitor is a very helpful tool if you want to monitor your sugar levels, especially the fluctuations throughout the day. I personally did not like th feeling of the sensor on my arm. But I love the idea of such devices, which helps maintaining healthy lifestyle. The so was easy to use. .

A great product for fitness minded people

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who is scared of needles, I’m so thankful this was so easy to do! I used this to get a better sense of my glucose levels, though not required by my doctor, this was more just my own research to change up my health habits and know my body better. I love that it gives you insights specifically for you based on your data, and the app is very user friendly. I feel much better able to work toward my goals now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the Lingo continuous glucose monitor comfortable to wear and easy to maintain. It stayed securely on my skin without much irritation, and the reading seemed consistent with what I expected. The sensor lasted well through normal daily activities, making it convenient without needing much attention.

Accurate and easy to use
on August 25, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an interesting product! I was amazed at how well it worked, and how fast the data would show up on my app. I would have a snack and watch my glucose levels be impacted in real time. It did motivate me to make healthier choices when snacking (almonds over jelly beans), which was good.
At first I was disappointed that the app did not provide further insights based on my glucose levels, but changed my mind when I remembered that this app is not meant to replace your doctor. I plan to take my results back to my PCP and let her use that data for my health care treatment.
I think this is a great option if you’re just looking for a basic glucose reading (especially if you have a hunch that you have blood sugar issues). The app was very easy to use and intuitive.
“Installing” the reader was incredibly easy! Application and reader came separately, but was easy to pop together. I had zero pain when placing the reader and throughout wear. It’s water resistant so you can shower or swim (up to 30 min) with it on, no problems. I didn’t have any pain when wearing, even when I slept on that side. Was honestly surprised by how large the needle was given that there was no pain.
Taking it off was tricky, but in a good way. Glue was super strong and kept sensor in place. Like a bandaid, once you can get under one edge it’s very easy to get the rest off.
I do wish the device has less of a ridge and more of a slope, as my tank tops snagged on it when putting those on. But again, no pain, just annoying.
Definitely recommend!

Easy to apply
on August 25, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lingo Glucose Biosensor was interesting to try. Simple to apply to the back of my arm. I couldn't even tell it was there after a few minutes. If you are curious how your glucose levels are affected by what food you eat or drink, highly recommend the Lingo. Crazy how juice, bread, pasta and even rice noodles would spike my glucose. Great to know and how to adjust what foods we eat.

Easy set up
on August 24, 2026
Posted by: KariG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this out for fun and ended up getting one for my mom to use and track her glucose. She’s not very tech savvy but she was able to figure out the app and set up on her own. This was a lot more convenient for her than traditional methods. I highly recommend for those looking for options for their parents. I had to help adjust the settings on her phone but it otherwise was easy for her to get the hang of.

Provides deeper health insights than simply tracking food and habits.
on August 24, 2026
Posted by: MichelleM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was an interesting experience as someone who has never used a glucose monitor for medical purposes. I was curious to gain more insight into my health and was excited for the opportunity to try the lingo continuous glucose monitor. I would say it’s definitely a little nerve wracking if you don’t love needles, since you do have to prick the device in the back of your arm. That part was a bit uncomfortable. However I did like the insights I gained from the data the device provides. Set up and connection was very simple using the app, and it easily calibrated. Overall, I’m not sure I would choose to wear this again, however, it did assist in giving me a deeper insight to my health.
