Great Diagnostic Tool for Everyone

The Functional Medicine FNP-C that I work with encourages most of her patients to utilize the Lingo as a very helpful diagnostic tool to reach optimal health.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor was very easy to install with no pain. I had a few issues connecting the device to the app and had a few days when it would disconnect. I also don’t like how you have to keep the app open and running for it to collect data. The readings seem very accurate and the app is fairly simple to use. You can log meals and exercise to see how it affects your blood sugar. However, I don’t know what the data means. I don’t understand what a LINGO count is or how to determine if I have insulin resistance. Overall it still was a fun experiment to try!
I have used other types of blood glucose patches in the last 18 months. However like the easy use of the Lingo patch in applying patch and also reads received on my phone. Only thing I think is the top reading of 200 needs to be higher reading to know how high reading is getting. I do also like all the info available.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on my health and wellness journey, and this is one of the best items I have utilized thus far! It’s very durable and removal of all components of the sensor was very easy. It didn’t hurt very much when the needle went into my skin and everything was very easy to use.
I enjoyed using the Lingo even though it reads 10 to 20 points off. What I don't like is Lingo not giving me a partial refund when it stopped working after 6 days. They did offer a 5% discount but only from their web site which is a much more expensive purchase than we can purchase in retail stores. I tried to post a picture confirming "the biosensor is not working" but their box option won't work for allow one to be posted.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
