Lingoby Abbott | 2-week CGM | Wearable Glucose Tracker | See your Glucose Response to Food, Exercise, Sleep | Continous Glucose Monitor & App to Support your Health Goals | For iPhone & UK Only

This is a fantastic product. Easy to attach the sensor to your body i never felt anything as it went on. Easy clear instructions to set up and use. Once the app is downloaded its very self explanatory. This educated me so much on my eating habits. The foods that raised my glucose were surprising and not the foods i thought would do this. I have already implemented small changes to my diet that have made a difference to my glucose levels. The data stream is easy to see and understand on your phone. Its is so helpful to see the effect some foods can have on your body in real time. This sensor encouraged me to be a bit more active too. This sensor can be pricy but I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to instil changes to their wellbeing in relation to food/glucose levels. This is not just a gadget but a helpful tool designed to make you aware of your food/drink/exercise and how it impacts your body. It also gives helpful advice on changes and allows you to set goals if you wish.

The instructions do not clearly explain that the application device is spring-loaded. As it is not immediately apparent how the device will deploy, the natural thing to do is investigate, before putting it against your arm. The spring-loaded deployer then activates on the tabletop. I tried to push it against my arm anyhow, but just bent the needle so a load of money was wasted thanks to poor-quality instructions which are in tiny print. It did say, don't touch the applicator, but I assumed that was with regards to sterilisation, not that it was spring-loaded to deploy at the slightest touch! I love the concept of the device, but they could do more to ensure our money is not wasted. Hopefully, this review will save others the frustration I am feeling.

First application really was painless, I was actually quite surprised after noticing the size of the needle. I do think it would be good if they included an alcohol wipe as it says to use one in the application instructions. Luckily I did have one at home so could follow all the steps correctly. After applying the biosensor connecting to my phone was so easy. Once the app was installed and went through the initial questions I just had to tap my phone to the sensor and it connected instantly. It takes a hour to set up but you can get on with things and then come back to the app later.It was really interesting to see how my glucose levels changed throughout the day and how different things affected it. The options to add information like meals and exercise so you could see how those changed glucose levels was also quite brilliant. And the addition of challenges was a great way to encourage healthy habits.Most of the time I completely forgot I was even wearing the sensor but unfortunately after 5 days I caught it quite roughly on a doorframe and the sensor ripped half off. The needle dislodged so I was unable to stick it back down and had to completely remove. The other half was still stuck quite well so I’m sure would have stayed put with no problem if I hadn’t caught it.I got in touch with support and they sent out a replacement straight away and it arrived the next working day. This time when I I applied the sensor it hurt a little and it appeared to bleed slightly. It wasn’t as comfortable as where I had applied the first sensor and ached like it was bruised occasionally if I leant on it. After a few days this calmed down and was much better. I think with practice you would know the best spots to apply.Although this does appear to be quite expensive I think this is a pretty useful device. The fact that it continuously updates is quite fantastic. And for those wanting to monitor and improve their health it may be worth the price.Tried for free #hometesterclub

The biosensor and app are really easy to set up and use. You download the app and then apply the biosensor to the back of the arm (which is also very easy to do and painless) and then you’re all set up and ready to go! It’s really useful and gives great insight into your body/glucose levels and how you react to certain foods, exercise or stress, allowing you to change the way you think and eat to be healthier. 10/10

I was selected to test the lingo glucose biosensor. It was easy and painless to apply, slightly uncomfortable after it was first applied but that soon settled. The biosensor was also easy to connect to the app too. Unfortunately after that I wasn’t too impressed, the app tracks your glucose levels but requires a lot of input from the user and there is much output or explanations for rises or falls. I use a lot of health apps to track various conditions and for the price I expected more. I wouldn’t pay nearly £60 for one sensor. #hometesterclub

Be warned this thing works only with iPhone , how stupid is that 🤷 producing a product and selling it in 2025 available to iPhone users only. I should be paid money for the disappointment I experienced

This product is very impressive. It came packaged well, each individual item was sealed for sterile purposes. It was easy to download the app, easy and painless to fit the monitor to my arm and the app is very simple to use. The only downside I have is that the ‘Lingo count’ was not clear on what points you gained from logging what specifics, and what the purpose of those points was. Otherwise it fully helped me to gain a better and clearer understanding of what my diet was doing to my sugar levels overall which is really useful as I do a lot of weight training.
