This is a great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 100% recommend this as a device to help you get an overview on how foods affect you personally. I've had a great experience with this device. I'm going to i've been told by doctor that I'm heading toward prediabetes so it's time for me to tweak my diet and i like to make decisions with as much information as I can.

I wanted to like it, but I couldn’t
on July 14, 2026
Posted by: KaitlynneJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to like this product but I just kept having issue after issue. The application was super easy and it didn’t hurt when the needle went in. HOWEVER the adhesive was not good at all. My first device fell off the first day I applied it. I contacted the support team and they sent me a new one. The adhesive for that one lasted 2-3 days and ultimately fell off. I noticed a few times when I would go check my numbers my app told me my sensor was “disconnected” and would take me at least 20 mins to get reconnected- which was very inconvenient when I’m out and about. My sensor also over heated which being in TX would happen a lot, so my numbers weren’t being read during that time. Setting up the app and connecting it was pretty easy and only takes a few minutes!

Okay, but…
on July 12, 2026
Posted by: ashleyP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This continuous glucose monitor is okay. It is definitely the most affordable option you will find, and I really love all the features in the app. It’s really nice how it tracks your progress and I love the tips and challenges. That said, I have used other CGMs and for whatever reason this is the first time that I have found one to be uncomfortable. It hurt just slightly the whole time, and when I took it off I had a little wound, when normally there isn’t really evidence of a CGM having been there. It is entirely possible it was just a bum sensor, but having only tried one, it was a bummer. It is also a bigger than other sensors I have used. Overall though it seems like a really nice option if you are looking to try out a CGM!

Great concept, but I couldn’t get it to pair with my iPhone
on July 12, 2026
Posted by: OliviaB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to try this since I’ve started working out and cutting back on sugar. Unfortunately, I could never get it to pair with my iPhone even after following the instructions carefully, so I wasn’t able to test the accuracy.
The design is sleek, but applying it by yourself on the back of your arm is harder than expected. The learning curve would be much easier if the instructions included more photos and suggested having someone help with placement.
The app seemed promising, but the connectivity issues kept me from using it. I still think it’s a great idea and hope the setup process becomes more user friendly.

Amazing tool to learn about your body and habits 💡
on July 10, 2026
Posted by: LissetB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After two weeks, I've learned many things with this ongoing glucose monitor.
First, I noticed the days that I was working at my standing desk, my blood sugar would recover a lot faster after my meals than if I was sitting through the day. It was the same results for the days that I was able to workout which it truly shows you the importance of moving your body throughout the day.
Second, there were some mornings that I was late to work and I had to rush my morning, my blood sugar would slowly start to rise just with the stress, and of course the days that I had more relax morning, my my blood sugar stayed consistent.
Third, I learned how my body responds to different types of foods, not just carbs, but fats and proteins as well. So for breakfast, I usually have two eggs, egg whites, avocado and a piece of sourdough. I always eat the eggs first and my blood sugar never went up after breakfast. However, when I eat my lunch which I usually have potatoes, rice, quinoa or pasta for carb and since I ate the carbs first, my blood sugar had spikes.
So it was great to have an app to check all the metrics in real time. The app gives you a score per day (Lingo score) so it is useful to have it and you are more conscious about your day. I tried to stay under my score and those days I felt very active and energetic throughout the day. The device is pretty small and the application didn't hurt that much.
I definitely learned a lot about my body and my habits. I would definitely recommend doing the 2 weeks program.
Pd. If you are a side sleeper, put the device on the opposite arm since it gets uncomfortable to sleep on the side you have the device on. Rookie mistake.

Easy to apply, comfortable after a brief adjustment period, and provides valuable real time glucose insights.
on July 9, 2026
Posted by: ReReReviewsA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Lingo glucose bio sensor and really like how easy it was to set up and use. The application process was straightforward, and the app paired quickly, making it easy to start tracking my glucose levels. The insertion felt like a quick pinch, and I experience.d slight soreness for about two days afterward, but it wasn’t enough to interfere with my daily activities. Once the soreness went away, I barely noticed the sensor on my arm. It’s been interesting to see how different foods affect my glucose in real time, and the insights have helped me make more informed nutrition choices. Overall, it’s a convenient and user friendly system for anyone wanting to better understand their body’s glucose patterns.

Simple and effective, but could use notifications better
on July 9, 2026
Posted by: nicoB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like everyone says... painless and simple. I was able to connect quickly and the setup was super clear to understand. It was fun to see the glucose spikes and drops. I feel like the app could be better at notifying you when would be a good time to eat a meal. It really didn't notify much at all, and i'd like it to help me stay on track instead of just track my numbers. Removal was easy and the needle is flexible. I've attached a photo of it after being taken out.

Simple and easy to use
on July 7, 2026
Posted by: LauraJ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The app was easy to download load. The biosensor tracks The info, stays on with no issues, even through showers. You take it off after the 14 days and apply a new one. I had an issue with the first one they sent me no pairing. I emailed lingo and they sent me a replacement right away. I had it within 2 days and just sent the bad one back in the return prepaid box they sent me with the replacement. Easy and simple. I would recommend if you would like to track you glucose. There are also challenges on the app that are healthy and good for people to do.
