This OTC continuous glucose monitor helped me track my meals (without counting calories)


The Abbott Lingo CGM is a unique approach to meal tracking, and I recommend it to anyone curious about trying biowearables, including health and fitness enthusiasts.

The key, Lingo tells you in its app, is to prioritize protein and healthy fats -- choose vegetables over fruits, exercise regularly, and opt for savory foods over sweet ones to avoid spikes. The Abbott Lingo is a temporary device that could provide context into your diet for a short enough time to make meaningful changes and see results, but maybe not enough to document a whole year of blood-sugar highs and lows. I've been so obsessed with getting my Oura Ring's resilience level to exceptional or a high 90 sleep score that I've found myself leaving parties early or missing social events to get to bed on time.
