Lingo reviews and discussion

Lingo was useful in measuring glucose levels. It was interesting to see how certain foods elevated my glucose and how others had less of an effect. Carbs were definitely a big elevator. Setting up the app was easy enough to do. Applying the sensor to the back of my upper arm was easy and surprisingly painless despite there being a needle involved. In fact, I didn’t even feel the needle go in. The sensor and the adhesive came in a sterile cup. After opening the cup a stamper was used to pick up the sensor. Then the stamper was used to apply the sensor to the arm with one small push. Removing the sensor was just as easy. Just needed to peel off the adhesive and the sensor came off. When doing that I noticed the needle was very thin and flexible. Some rubbing alcohol was required to remove excess adhesive on the skin. The first day with the sensor in I did feel some soreness if I stretched my arm in a certain way. The sensor and the adhesive was quite durable. I ended up bumping it a few times pretty hard but it stayed in place. Traveling with Lingo was smooth too. No issues with the metal detectors. If I ever needed to monitor my glucose in the future I’d use lingo rather than the traditional methods.
