Something everyone should try once!
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: JosephR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone that generally has no idea what their glucose is at this is a very useful product! It’s fun to eat something and then literally watch your glucose change. I’m kind of a baby when it comes to needles but application of this device is absolutely painless. I thought i did it wrong because I felt nothing on application. The app works well and updates quick. I wore it for a week before pulling it off. If you’re into fitness this is a very useful tool for fueling!

User friendly continuous glucose monitor
on March 7, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] User friendly continuous glucose monitor that connects to an app for easy tracking. Application is simple and painless. Able to get wet in shower and withstand rigorous workouts. I hardly know it's on! Very interesting to use to see how your glucose changes with different foods, exercise, and overnight

Great tool!
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: SarahS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved using this product! I was worried it would feel intimidating to put on but it was super easy and the directions were very clear. The app walks you through all the steps and it synced very quickly. I have had it on for 2 weeks yet and don’t notice it at all and it is still sticky. The readings are up to date and provide some really interesting data. The app also provides some suggestions based on the readings. There is really no maintenance until 2 weeks when you have to change the reader on your arm. I have loved seeing which foods impact me more and ways I can better stabilize my blood sugar!

Great start for a healthy lifestyle.
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: MariellS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first time I have ever seen and tried a machine like this. Installing was actually very easy. No pain when I put it on. The size is perfect. I don’t even feel it. What I enjoy is that it notifies me when my glucose is high. The app itself is very simple to follow. I definitely recommend this for anyone that is interested in starting a healthy lifestyle. One last thing I really liked is that I only taped it with my phone and it was connected.

Easy to use cgm
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: SamanthaC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed using this cgm. I did not know much about cgm’s before using, so I feel like I didn’t insert it in the best spot - it kind of hurt for the first few days after insertion, I just felt a pinchy feeling in the spot I inserted it. But after using it for almost two weeks, that has gone away, and I feel as if I would put it in a better spot next time. My favorite part had been experimenting with how different foods spike my glucose. I love the way it gives you instant feedback and you can record what you ate at that moment, and it will tell you how that spiked your glucose. The lingo count is very interesting and helpful - it’s basically a combination of the height of the spike and the duration. At the end of each day you get a summary of the lingo count which is also very helpful for tracking. One other issue I found is they sometimes the bluetooth would take a while to connect and sync the data. I do have an older iphone, so that may be a part of it. In sum, I would highly recommend this for anyone who is just curious about how their food is affecting their glucose in real time.

Good device if you have a reason for it
on March 7, 2026
Posted by: JennP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The device was easy to setup and install. Did not hurt in any way when I put on the device. It’s started receiving data within one hour. I wish they had more directions on how to read and understand the app. It took me 3 days to understand how the Lingo score was achieved. It was interesting to see how certain foods/drinks affected my glucose. Unless I was worried about pre diabetes I wouldn’t have a reason to purchase this device. And I am not quite sure what I could use the data for besides watching how food impacts my glucose. I also felt that it became uncomfortable after a week, I think I was sleeping on that arm. And the removal was the most difficult part. The data was accurate but for me this device doesn’t serve a purpose and I would not purchase this again.

Helpful for personalizing diet
on March 6, 2026
Posted by: NgochaivyN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lingo is marketed for adults who are not using insulin and who want optimize their diet, weight, energy or fitness by understanding their personal glucose responses. The sensor is water-resistant and is designed to stay put through showers, workouts, and sleep and firmly attached for the full 14 days wear. Lingo is a wearable continuous glucose monitor designed for people who want deeper insight into their metabolism, not for managing diabetes. Lingo is easy to use and technically works well
