Abbott Lingo OTC CGM for people not on insulin

[spdif]

Continuing the discussion from Dexcom Stelo:

@dogramma

Have any of you tried the new Abbott Lingo CGM? Like the Stelo, it’s available from the company without prescription, and is not a full-featured CGM, but could be useful in some cases. I’ve been using it as kind of a backup to my Freestyle Libre 3, for times between sensors, or other instances when my Libre readings are not readily available. Like the Freestyle Libre, it updates and displays readings every minute, and I found it very easy to insert. They shipped my sensors to me within two days both times I ordered, so apparently there’s no waitlist anymore.

@dogramma Thanks for mentioning Lingo. I think it deserves its own topic so I created one.
Since you’ve used a Lingo can you please try to log in to LibreView on a PC or Mac and check if your Lingo data shows up? Also if you did have any highs or lows while on a Lingo does LibreView show any values above 200 or below 55? The Dexcom Stelo only displays a limited range but it uploads the full range value to Clarity so I wonder if Lingo does the same.

LibreView only shows my Libre 3 as a “Connected Device”. And the update rate on the Libre 3 is once per minute, by the way.

The Lingo’s range is only 55-200, but I’m mostly just using it for potential low protection.
