Valuable tool for a healthier lifestyle
The first time I purchased Lingo, I experienced an issue. I brushed up against the side of the car and the thing came unattached. It had only been on for 36 hrs. I was so frustrated, I contacted Lingo customer service directly and they were MORE than sympathetic and helpful. Everyone who is saying they won’t get their $ back, that may be true but contact directly and they will send out a new sensor. I LOVE this thing. It does not hurt to put on (I was nervous about that ) but not the absolute MOST IMPORTANT thing is to purchase the round bandages that cover the sensor(available on Amazon). I have worn one for 2 weeks , and now on my 2nd and the bandage protection (though not cute) prevents it getting inadvertently knocked off. As far as functionality, I don’t know if my #s are completely accurate, but that’s not what I truly care about. It has been most helpful in showing me how my levels respond to what I eat. It has made me so much more aware of combining proteins, fats and carbs together in order to prevent a spike. It most definitely jumps up if I eat sugar or pasta. I’d say the only slightly difficult thing to understand is how the lingo points are calculated in relation to the spike. From watching it , I think it’s the jump and the length of recovery time it takes the value to come back down. I wish I used a device like this long ago. Again , the accuracy isn’t 100% important as long is it’s semi consistent and not completely out of normal which mine has not been. It’s not for diabetics - it’s for people who just want to see how their body reacts to the foods they eat in order to make modifications for a healthier lifestyle. It has done that for me to the point where I feel like I want to wear one always! I won’t , bc it’s unrealistic ,but it’s become a daily challenge to stay in check. The directions are so easy but it’s helpful if you have someone else apply if for you. When I removed my first one after 2 weeks, it did leave a little ring(no bruising) but I’m sensitive to adhesive and it was more of a ring where the adhesive was. At the end of the 2 weeks, your data shows you when you had the most spikes and what you were eating around that time that caused the jump. Logging in that information through the day is really simple and you don’t have to be that detailed bc only you need to know what you were referring to like “broccoli and some bites of pasta” or “stressful situation about the car” Another little glitch is when you log that info, you need to adjust the time those things occurred. It gives you the clock but you need to make sure the time is correct when you go back to log. It’s very helpful to log so you’re able to see how those foods or events relate to the spikes. Anyway, I keep coming back and have been watching the reviews from the time there were less than 20. I felt compelled to write one (which I never do) bc I feel like people aren’t giving it enough credit for the value it offers!Ver másVer menos
