Review: Ignore All the Bad Reviews - This is a Great Product - I’m an RN and bought this because I am super interested in all of the metabolic disease that is overrunning our country and feel that the current standard lab testing does a poor job in identifying problems early when there is still time to modify behaviors and outcomes. As I was looking at CGMs, I was surprised to see so many bad reviews. I’ve never written an desertcart review in my life but felt my experience was so different from the bad reviews that I needed to help people feel informed. The reviews noted issues with the CGM 1) Falling off easily 2) Not being accurate 3) Not working. I purchased the Abbott Lingo and was very, very impressed with the applicator, the biosensor, and the app. Everything worked flawlessly for the full two weeks when it appropriately ended its time. Regarding the issues others noted above: 1) I proactively purchased the Ceeport CGM sensor stickers and cut a small hole in the center since the dot on the biosensor can’t be covered. Abbott should probably consider including a sensor sticker with their package, but until then, it’s a no brainer to buy a $1 sticker to protect a $45 biosensor. The sticker lasted the full 2 weeks and I had zero issues with the sensor or sticker coming loose with daily exercise and showers. 2) Reviewers had complained that they did a finger prick glucose test and it was completely different than the reading on their CGM. I didn’t test my blood sugar at all during the two weeks, however I do know that the CGM is not testing *blood* sugar, it’s testing *interstitial fluid* (in the tissues) fluid, so it’s going to vary and it is a delayed result. My satisfaction with the rest of the product and seeing appropriate fluctuations based on meals/exercise/stress level give me confidence that this is likely pretty accurate. 3) When you initially open the app any time you want to see your reading, it says “sensor not in range” (or something) and the first time I saw this, I thought it wasn’t working. It does this every time you open the app, lasts 30 seconds or so, and then it pairs and all the info since the last time you logged in is uploaded on the app. It functioned perfectly for me for the two full weeks. Lastly I’d like to comment on the application of the biosensor. I was SO nervous about sticking myself with the needle. It literally did not hurt. The spring action made so much clicking sound when it fired as I was *very slowly, nervously* putting pressure on it, that it caught me off guard and all of a sudden it was applied and I didn’t even feel the poke! I was amazed. Nice work Abbott. The other positive component of wearing this CGM was the awareness of my body’s response to different foods. It gave me incredible insight (and therefore power) into how my diet was affecting me at the cellular level, and gave me great motivation to improve my dietary choices. I felt like the phone app was easy to navigate and very well done. Excellent product!
Review: Installing the app - If this sensor is useful or not, I will never know... because I could not get it to work. To apply the sensor to the arm is easy and you will not feel a thing. To install the app is a total different issue. I have a Samsung Phone and I use this phone exactly for the reason intended by Alexander Graham Bell and nothing else... like most seniors my age. I do not care one bit for all this nonsense and pretend functionality on a modern phone. Actually most phones are virtually unusable because the keyboard is too small for old fingers. But I did managed to "register" for a Google account. They of course ask me all sorts of questions which are none of their damn business... but I suffer with dignity so I go to the Google Play Store and search for "Lingo" and installed the app. The app started with asking me all sorts of questions... again, none of their business. I paid for the sensor so I should be able to use it, but no... they are more interested in my info. Then 10 or 20 pages later (i did not count) finally the page which read: Ready To Scan... I did hold the back of my phone directly onto the sensor which I had already put onto my arm. and .... nothing... then the message... Pairing Error... I tried numerous times Then I called the support line and as expected a gentleman with a heavy indian accent ( you recognize the accent when they call you and try to con you out of your money, never pick up the phone when you do not recognize the number). Obviously the guy talks too fast, uses unnecessary words and you cannot understand a thing. This went on for good 1 hour and nothing. among other things, he asked me to delete the app, reinstall this and then search for a red dot... ??? what red dot??? I still do not know what he meant. Anyway I told him, that I cut my losses and tell everybody about my ordeal. Then he suddenly offered me to replace the sensor. Very well I am down $50 already, might as well... arrives in 2-3 days, meaning 4-5 days because of the weekend. Why is there no "app" for this sensor on a PC. After all A PC has a screen I can actually see and a keyboard which does not require baby fingers. And for Pete's sake, do not ask me all these dumb questions, which are none of your business. If the replacements ensor works, I will try it... but then never again. Simply measure your morning fasting BG like before and that is that. Minute to minute updates are superfluous and expensive technology and a pain in the rear. 12/21/25 1:14pm Important update. I did not want to wait for the replacement and ordered another one yesterday from desertcart same day delivery. This one worked, but did not give me any reading for 1 hour and afterwards it was 20 points too low compare to the finger stick (73, 92). however this morning it was a lot better, In fact just now it reads 92 and the contour next fingerstick reads 95. I am more than happy with that. To be sure I get some benefit from this device... after all I learned that overnight my BG dropped to 55 for a brief moment... I seriously doubt that. All you can see trends, and I am lucky with this one, it is even accurate.... but I am an EE and I did work with large continuous datasets which were contaminated with large random errors and judging by the graph, it looks very much like a data set processed using a Markov Process. This is a mathematical process to get the best up to date measurement even when the whole data set is contaminated with random errors. But there is no free lunch in mathematics, nothing beats accurate measurements, no amount of math and statistics will make it better, even when it appears like that. In the moment I am happy... lets see, if the other reviews have a point. besides, why do you want to measure something you already know? Sugar and refined carbohydrates spike your blood glucose... its common knowledge... don't eat junk food and you do not need a CGM, Everybody who wears a CGM or reads this post, has already done the most important thing, which is educating oneself about nutrition... everything else is superfluous. Important update 05/Jan/2026 I am on my 2nd sensor. They last only 14 days for whatever reason, most importantly I guess, the glue will not stick much longer than that, probably the skin will secrete oils which dissolve the glue??? The good news was, that removing the old sensor was easy and it left no mark on my skin other than a tiny hole where the sensor was inserted. Unfortunately, the second sensor is also about 20 points too low, relative to the test strip. Of course one could argue that the test strips read 20 points too high, which I seriously doubt. Consecutive testing with test strips (Contour Next EZ) show readings within 5 counts of each other using brand new test strips. Overnight I get readings of 55 with the CGM, which is utter nonsense, because I am a recovering type 2 diabetes patient... even a reading of 75 overnight is hard to believe. The only useful thing I have discovered is that overnight my BG drops significantly. Morning glucose measurements are virtually useless, because of the classic BG spike after waking up. As soon as you out of bed, the BG is already on the rise and it can go up 30 maybe even 40 points within minutes and you have no way of knowing on which part of the curve you are measuring. So again, I have a warm feeling that maybe I have conquered my insulin resistance, just add 20 points to whatever the CGM tells you and when this is under 80 during the night, you maybe ok... still avoid carbs for the rest of your life

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best money I’ve ever spent!
*by S***N on April 19, 2025*

This has been so enlightening! I’m a thin, very active, and very healthy eating 60 year old with an A1c just barely in the pre diabetic range (5.7) per my last physical and lab results. I was shocked. So I bought this to see if I could find out when my sugars were high and after what foods. Well I was shocked again to find out how high my sugars went and how frequently I get big swings. I’m on my 4th day and have finally figured out through trial and error my diet and activity level and timing to give me a good Lingo score. I found that I need to eat less carbs (even though all were whole grain) and less fruit (I love fruit!) and only after some protein but mostly that I need to eat smaller meals and to stay active for about an hour after each meal to keep my sugar levels stable and from peaking so high. Yes it’s a little bit of a hassle but something I can do and so much better than medication or worse - having diabetic complications down the road. I would never have known without being able to have a constant monitoring system! It’s very easy to place the monitor and painless. And the app is easy to use. This will change my behavior and prevent so much pain and problems in my future. I cannot recommend this high enough if you’re pre diabetic or if you just want to have your eyes opened regarding what your sugars are on a real time basis. The best fifty bucks I’ve ever spent! It’s now 7 days later. The monitor stopped working on day 6. I called Amazon and they gave me a full refund without any problems. However, I still think the information was life changing for me. I would have liked more time to try different foods to see my body’s response, so I will try another one. I’m going to keep my rating at 5 stars because of how incredibly enlightening it was even though it only lasted the 6 days.
