Drive your daily performance. Lingo uses Abbott’s market-leading glucose sensing technology to help you better understand and retrain your metabolism.

How does it work?

Lingo interprets your glucose data and translates it into a simple system called Lingo Counts. Think of it like currency for your coaching programme. You’ll be guided through a three-stage journey starting with your Lingo Count baseline. You get a target and guidance to learn the fundamentals and start building new, healthy habits. Then, with tailored, real-time coaching, Lingo helps you lower your glucose and retrain your metabolism.

Have your best day. Every day.

Ignite your energy

Managing your glucose curve can be an effective way to improve your energy levels. People exposed to less glucose reported feeling 20% less fatigue.[1]

Stop your snacking

Research shows that seeing your real-time glucose data helps you learn the difference between feeling hungry and just a passing craving.[2], [3]

Lift your mood

Balancing your glucose can improve your mood. One study found that people with high glucose exposure had a 55% higher report of poor mood.[1]

Transform your sleep

Clinical studies are finding that adopting habits which support steady glucose levels may lead to better sleep. In turn, better sleep may also help you keep your glucose steady.[4]

Sharpen your focus

One study of more than 3,000 young adults showed that those with unsteady glucose levels had diminished memory and processing speed in later life.[5]
