[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starting out, the sensor was easier to apply to the back of my arm than I had expected. There is a small needle but I did not feel anything, not even a prick. For 2 weeks the sensor stayed attached to my arm with no issues even when exercising or taking a shower. The app was easy to get started as well and I could see the spikes in my glucose based on what I was eating. The main thing that I did not love about the app was that I didn't really know what to do with the information. I sort of understand how I might feel differently when my glucose has lots of peaks and valleys and isn't steady and I also understand it's connected to things like food and drink and movement. But it didn't really give me meaningful recommendations as to what I should actually be doing differently besides the general living a healthy lifestyle. I'm not sure if I would feel the need to do another 2 weeks again. It was interesting and helpful to get a baseline understanding of my glucose, but I'm not sure if I would need to repeat it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initial application wasn’t too painful at all! There was a little soreness day-of but it went away by the second day. It was cool to be able to monitor to see how my glucose is influenced by diet and exercise. I wish the subscription lasted a month instead of 2 weeks. Near the end of the 2 weeks, the device got sore when bumped. Overall interesting device!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband really likes it. The design is very simple and modern. Setup and configuration is very easy and the app is very convenient to monitor the glucose level. We didn’t see any issues while we tested two weeks. Size is perfect and doesn’t even noticeable. Battery works perfect and doesn’t feel like it needs to be replaced for long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely recommend! It was very interesting to track my glucose over two weeks and see how eating affected it! It stayed connected very well and stayed in my arm for the whole two weeks! Even with showering everyday! Would definitely recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed using the Lingo Continuous Glucose Monitor. The directions are easy to follow and intuitive. I was a little nervous to apply the sensor when I saw the needle, but I felt absolutely zero discomfort when applied. The adhesive is extremely durable and sticky and stayed intact the full 14 days. It is comfortable, and I barely noticed it was there. It was so fun to track my blood sugar and see how different foods affected me. You can log the foods you eat and set goals and challenges. The only con is the biosensor disconnects from the Bluetooth to the phone quite frequently. I had to wait about a minute for it to reconnect when I opened the app each time. Despite this, I would recommend. My husband wants to try it next!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a really pleasant experience using the lingo glucose monitor. When it first arrived, which came very quickly, I opened it up and read the instructions at first I was really nervous to stick it in the back of my arm. It was a little intimidating since I don’t deal with needles and things like that but I did it, and it did not hurt even a little bit. It was so easy and such a smooth experience. Once it was on, it was on. I had no issues with it falling, bothering me, or tugging on my shirts or anything like that. I even thought I might have trouble sleeping, but it did not bother me one bit. I definitely think the accuracy of the product is top-notch. I typically don’t eat breakfast in the morning mornings. I just have coffee with chobani cream. I know that there is a lot of sugar in there so I expected it to spike a bit. I would check the app every morning after I had my coffee ensure enough it would spike my glucose. It was very cool to be able to go on and see. It’s very easy to connect it. It works with Bluetooth on your phone and all you have to do is touch your phone to the device on your arm and within seconds it connects and downloads your data. This was a really cool experience. My husband even wants to try now. I am still giving it five stars, but I think the only part for me that was hard was trying to track my food and what I was eating. If you do not track, it doesn’t affect it in any way, but if you forget and go back and don’t remember what you had that day you won’t remember what made it spike or didn’t make it spike. Overall, I had a really great experience and would recommend this to anybody that wants to track their glucose.
Helpful tool for people wanting to know more about their blood glucose

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free of charge in exchange for an honest review, and I would recommend it. For some time maybe 6 months I’ve been on a weight loss journey by way of a low carb diet. I’ve lost about 25 lbs and have a routine with my food so I know what is working. When I got the opportunity to try the CGM ( which I’d wanted to try anyway) it confirmed to me that what I was doing was working well. It also allowed me to learn what “keto” alternatives did to my blood glucose. I would constantly be looking at the app to see what my metrics were. There were some downsides like having a foreign object stuck in your arm, and with having toddlers it was sometimes a nuisance to avoid bumping it or them trying to touch it. It was easy to apply and didn’t hurt even though I was scared and had my husband do it for me. If you’re needing to learn more about your blood sugar it’s a pretty great tool if you’re able to deal with some in your arm. Thank you for letting me try the lingo CGM.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to insert, no problems with app using iPhone. Was worried it would be painful but there was no discomfort. I had been wanting to track my glucose for awhile, especially being pregnant. I was pleased.
