[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think a glucose monitor is an amazing thing. For people with diabetes, but those also on a diet or trying to find what goods work best for their bodies. This came with easy to follow instructions and was easy to apply. I was intimidated by the needle at first, but after watching a couple videos of other people applying it I became more brave. It literally didn't hurt at all when I applied it. An hour after applying the app starting giving me my first readings. It was interesting to see what made it go up and then crash, and what made it stay steadying. The app also has recipies and advise. There is also challeneges you can complete for awards. I was able to shower and live normal life without the monitor having any issues or becoming unstuck. When you near the end time of your monitors life, the app will give you a count down to remind you. This was super easy to use for a beginner.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed using this product. It was interesting to check my glucose at any time and see what spiked it and what did not. I learned what the types of foods matter, but what matters more is the quantity of those trigger foods.
The application was easy, but I was afraid to do it! I made my husband apply it to my arm. It didn’t hurt going in, but I do wish the pack came with an over patch. The battery lasts for about 14 days, but my monitor was starting to fall off before that time.
Sometimes the monitor wouldn’t sync with my phone, which was annoying and a hassle to reconnect.
Overall, I would recommend it to a friend and I enjoyed the insights.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use once it’s on but the application was slightly confusing. It has held up nicely. I haven’t lost weight but I do like the way it helps me to see clear pictures of my body needs. I would use it more but it’s costly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The lingo is easy to use and provides clear real time data that helps me better understand how food and daily habits affect my glucose levels. The app is very readable and simple to navigate making tracking effortless. Alerts are help helpful without being overwhelming and maintenance is minimal one applied. I appreciate how convenient and informative the system is, offering great value for anyone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lingo created a great glucose arm monitor. I used this during my pregnancy to track my glucose numbers. It was convenient and comfortable to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very thankful for this product the other day. I felt very faint and it showed low blood sugar. I ate and felt so much better. I’m not sure on the accuracy of the numbers though. It said I was below 55 but I took my blood sugar at work and it was 85. I was honestly super surprised that it didn’t hurt at all when I applied it. It’s been on for about a week and it hasn’t budged.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I personally had issues attaching it. I clicked it once and felt a pinch but it stayed in the applicator and I don’t believe a second punch is okay to do. I did clean the skin and allow it to dry. It’s possible I received a faulty item. I love the idea of it and the information it provides so I would definitely try it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to be selected to test the Lingo Continuous Glucose Monitor in exchange for my honest review. I will start by saying that it is my opinion that every person should continuously monitor their glucose a few times a year. It is an eye opener, especially if you want to lose weight and eat healthier. I plan to do this again. The Lingo monitor is easy to put on. I experienced a tiny bit of discomfort when putting it on for the first time but nothing to complain about. The app is full of helpful tips and education. I thought I knew what I needed to know about glucose, spikes in glucose, etc. I learned so much from the app. The past few years I have fasted for so many hours a day while sometimes cutting carbs. I was given 2 weeks of monitoring. One week I ate however I wanted. The next week I cut down on carbs and ate only during the non fasting hours. I can now say that after using this monitor, I know what works best for me. Not only did Lingo help me decipher spikes, etc, but I felt better. Everyone is different and I truly believe that everyone could benefit from the Lingo Continuous Glucose Monitor. My only complaint is that I had to constantly connect it to my phone. I have my phone on me 24/7, plenty of times on my person and it would still lose connection. I’m so thrilled that this technology exists and not only do I plan to do it again, I plan on doing it for my older teenagers. I really think Lingo is a fabulous tool for anyone trying to live a healthier life.
