Lingo Glucose Monitor

Glucose is a fuel that provides energy to your cells. It goes up and down throughout the day, typically rising after high-carb meals, intense exercise, or even stress. But food tends to be the biggest driver.


As glucose rises (or spikes), your body releases insulin to get that fuel where it needs to go. Insulin helps your body use glucose for energy. When there’s too much in your system, the excess glucose gets stored as glycogen or fat.

Frequent ups and downs in glucose can also affect how 
you feel day to day — hungry, tired, moody, unable to concentrate.  All things that can derail your health goals. And better glucose control over a lifetime can reduce 
the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.  So, it’s important to learn which foods cause the biggest spikes 
for you.

Finding foods and habits that work for you, your routine, and your metabolism has all kinds of benefits including:

Weight Management:  As glucose rises, so does insulin.  And when insulin is chronically elevated, it can impair the body’s ability to burn fat for energy. That’s why having steady glucose levels can help with losing and maintaining weight. 

Retraining hunger cues:   Glucose crashes can trick you 
into thinking you need more food ASAP.   Seeing your real-time glucose data can help you understand the difference between true hunger and just 
a passing craving. 

Feeling more rested:   Studies have shown that steady
glucose may lead to better
sleep.  In turn, better sleep 
can also help to keep your glucose steady. 

Improved memory, mood & mental clarity:   Glucose management is associated with improved memory, mental clarity, and mood. 
One study found that people who ate a high-glycemic diet had a 55% higher report of poor mood compared to people who ate a low-glycemic diet.

Wearing a biosensor can give you insights into how your food choices impact your body. But this technology alone won’t change your metabolism. Getting the results you want takes habit-building, guidance and support, and a more tailored approach to nutrition.

The Lingo app helps you maximize the insights your biosensor can offer. It can be a source of feedback, accountability, validation that what you’re doing is actually working.

Step 1:  Apply your biosensor.

The continuous glucose monitor (CGM) attaches painlessly to the back of your upper arm. You won’t even notice it’s there.

Step 2:  Download the Lingo app to your iPhone.   

This allows the biosensor to stream real-time glucose data directly to your phone, so you can see the impact of your eating habits. 

Step 3:  Learn new ways of eating.

Discover which foods work for you and what to prioritize. Every person is different. Insights from Lingo help you know your body in a new way.

Step 4:  Turn insights into action.

Armed with data and insights, you can build habits that support your goals. This is your body. Your data. Your health in your hands.

Don't worry, the majority of Abbott CGM users said that applying a biosensor was painless. In a study conducted by Abbott, 91.6 % of users surveyed (n=119) agree that it was painless to apply the biosensor. The biosensor attaches seamlessly to the back of your upper arm, you won’t even notice it's there. (Data on file at Abbott).
