Abbott - Lingo Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) & App. Made by Abbott. Know the impact of what you eat - White

This is my first time using a CGM. I don’t have diabetes but am on a strict carnivore diet and was tired of sticking my finger multiple times a day so I thought i would give this a try. Applying the monitor was very easy following their clear directions. Was expecting the application to hurt but was pleasantly surprised how it just felt like a little click. No pain at all! So far it has been wonderful. The almost instantaneous results after eating or exercising have been so informative, because it shows how everything affects my blood glucose. It’s been over a week and doesn’t show any signs of coming off. The App seems good too, it lets me log events like eating and exercising so I can remember later what I did that makes the readings change. I have had to close and restart the app twice so far because it lost its connection to the sensor. But that was a minor inconvenience and might have been because I was working in the yard and left my phone inside. It might have reconnected automatically eventually but I waited quite a while to give it a chance. The app recommended restarting Bluetooth and restarting the app so that’s what I did. The moment it reconnected, the sensor sent all the readings from the time it was not connected and I didn’t lose any data. So far I highly recommend, but after I’ve used them a month or more, if this opinion changes I will update my review.

It was painless to place. It gave me trouble after the first 24 hours, but I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. It then connected again. You have to keep your app up at all times. Completely waterproof, but it would stop reading at least once a day, but I’d apply pressure on the devise and it would start reading again. It lasted the full 2 weeks. I reordered another 2 pack. I was not impressed with the app though. It won’t register steps and the food logging is very basic. If the app wasn’t free, I wouldn’t use it. I feel like there are better monitors and apps out there for the money.

easy to install, to apply and reliable product that was informative . would like to recommend for daily and sequential use

I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Took it on my own to buy this device despite the low ratings on Amazon. It's working for me. They do have much room for improvement on the event/food entry function that goes along with the Glucose number tracking.

It works well enough tho it has no alarms to make you aware of immediate changes in levels otherwise a good product
