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.

Such as useful health tool. Helped me see what affects my glucose; when it drops and when it is high so I could adjust my diet accordingly to help manage my health better. It is pretty accurate and the results definitely aligned with how I feel with certain foods etc. Simple to apply and to remove and lasted two weeks as stated. Easy to set up and app has lots of helpful advice and features. It is expensive but worth it as it gave me lots of useful insights that has helped me change my individual eating habits making me feel so much better; such as avoiding causes of the extreme tiredness I was feeling, which I had learned was linked to certain foods. Would recommend, even if just as a one off to look at potential aspects affecting glucose.

It looks like the Freestyle Libre 2, its made by the same company but it is NOT a substitute for the Libre 2. What the description here doesn't say is what you see on the official website - "Lingo is not intended for the use in screening, diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation, prevention, or monitoring of diseases, including diabetes."Sure the app looks good but it ONLY works on iOS. My Libre is faulty so I bought this as a temporary solution till my replacement arrives. This is not for diabetics to monitor their BG levels. The app does NOT have the alarm feature which is crucial for diabetics in case of hypos.This is for people who want to monitor their general health. It's easy enough to put on and doesn't really hurt if you place it in the recommended spot.

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

Don’t bother buying, the app is badly designed. If your sugar levels spike it doesn’t give you any readings above 11 so you still have to use your manual machine for a reading. If anything stick to Libre sensor at least it gives more information.

I tried the Lingo Glucose Biosensor for a week and was blown away! The sensor ans set up was so easy to do, this was with the help of a you tube video. The app was great and easy to use with real-time glucose insights without the need for a finger prick, which is great! In a short space of time i could work out what food and exercise would effect my energy levels and with the app could spot patterns to make healthier choices. Overall a good tool for anyone that wants to understand their glucose levels.

Reassuring insight into glucose levels. Painless application. The needle is about 7mm and you cannot feel it once it’s attached.The app provides easy-to-understand information in the form of a graph and daily goals. There are several other features too but these were the significant ones.Sensor connects to phone very easily. Lasts 14 days which is a good period of time to get an understanding of your glucose levels and how your diet affects them.Water resistant, it stayed firmly attached in the shower each day.The ONLY negative is that the set-up instructions could do with being a bit clearer.
