About this course
The Lingo Glucose Biosensor is an over-the-counter wearable designed for adults who want to better understand how their body responds to food, exercise, and stress — without a diabetes diagnosis. This module walks you through everything you need to know to use it confidently: from applying and starting the sensor, to navigating the Lingo app's real-time glucose data, personalized coaching features, and Lingo Count scoring system.
Whether you're a healthcare professional looking to better support patients exploring consumer CGM technology, or an individual user ready to take control of your metabolic health, this course covers it all. Produced by Dr. Inge Van Boxelaer and reviewed by Dr. Laishiya Munshi, the content is fully independent of Abbott — giving you an honest, clinically informed look at the Lingo biosensor's capabilities, practical applications, and limitations.
