Give a guide as to blood sugars throughout the day. Works well but not convinced about accuracy. Showed low reading but I wasn't having a hypo.

DO NOT BOTHER with this product! It arrived quickly and was quite painless to attach, but it NEVER worked and was a complete waste of time. I tried uninstalling and installing a few times to see if it was just a glitch but it ALWAYS came up with the same message - "This App has a Bug" and NEVER actually worked. Very disappointing and frustrating as I was looking forward to getting more knowledge and information about My Glucose levels, but ABSOLUTELY USELESS and complete waste of time. Luckily Amazon refunded so I didn't lose the money but still Seriously disappointed I didn't even want to leave a single Star as a rating but Amazon won't allow to post the review without a rated review?!!

Waited till the 14 days was over to give full review. Fitting : very easy with the instructions, the adhesive was fine by itself although could buy extra coverings App : the app integration works seamlessly once the devise is connected the data was connected, twice had slight issue with Bluetooth connectivity but was easily resolved by either restarting phone or Bluetooth. Information : while it’s obvious that you will get higher spikes from excessive carbohydrates compared to protein and fats the data given gave more nuanced insights, ie for me not all carbohydrate quantities were equal, so elicited a bigger response than others, yes one could work out possibilities vis glycemic index etc but the visual in the moment readings were very useful and allowed one to play with strategies and see in real time if they worked. I only bought one but will get more at a future date to explore my choices again once insights integrated. Well worth the expense for those that want to understand this aspect of their health. For diabetics a different model is available.

Diagnosed pre diabetic and spent months pricking fingers to take blood sugar levels. But I loved this as you can see the impact of food types in real time. Easy to apply and not painful. Last 2 weeks but over that time you can really experiment (I’m a graduate chemist so bit of a data nerd). You can download all your data to an excel spreadsheet for prosperity 😀.

I bought one of these five months ago and was very pleased with how easy it was to set up and use to monitor my glucose levels. After a period on a changed diet I bought another to see where I am now. So: The first one wouldn’t pair properly, the sensor said it was faulty so I sent it back to Amazon which replaced it the same day - very impressive. The replacement sensor fell off my arm so I refitted it but it would not work at all. As for unit one went through the troubleshooting stuff but no joy. Maybe this is a pair from a bad batch but for me the product is far less dependable now. I’ve asked for a refund.

This is an excellent product as it is comfortable, accurate, compact, value for money, the adhesive is strong, its light and very portable and the phone app has many graphs and charts that are very easy to understand. But by far the best thing is the support team at Lingo. My second Lingo product came of, and to be clear it was my own fault as I brushed past a door too hard. The team responded very quickly and replaced it. So five stars all round!

The biosensor was easy to apply and stayed in place pretty well, until the last couple of days when it started to come off after I knocked it. I was expecting to feel it being put in place, but couldn’t feel it at all. Once in place I didn’t know it was there, until knocking it in the last couple of days. I can see it would be useful for people who want / need to monitor their glucose levels but to be honest, after the initial novelty had worn off, I had to make a conscious effort to pick it up and log in. I’m sure it would be very useful for those athletes who are working on improving performance but I didn’t feel it was necessary for myself at the ‘general fitness’ level. Also quite expensive.

When the monitor is properly working, it provides valuable information. However, the two monitors I bought both fell off within three days of putting them on. Both stopped working during sports activity that produced sweat, as a result of which they came loose and fell off. That shouldn't happen with products priced this highly, and which are supposed to function for two weeks
