Lingo's continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is an invasive device that inserts into the arm to track blood glucose. The application process is straightforward and painless. Users log meals to monitor their glucose response, with the Lingo Count system providing a score based on daily spikes. Within two weeks, adjustments to personal targets are made based on individual data. Diet strategies suggested include prioritizing proteins and healthy fats, while maintaining blood sugar within a range of 70 to 180 mg/dL.
The CGM device inserts into the back of your arm, and a tiny needle takes your blood glucose -- it's more invasive than a typical wearable.
Every glucose spike added more data to my "Lingo Count," Abbott's scoring system that translates your daily spikes into a number. The objective is to hit or be below that number.
Across two weeks of wearing the device, I learned that most meals fell within the suggested blood sugar range of 70 to 180 mg/dL.
The key, Lingo tells you in its app, is to prioritize protein and healthy fats -- choose vegetables over fruits, exercise regularly, and opt for savory foods over sweet ones to avoid spikes.
