Traditional meal-tracking apps, while useful, do not monitor direct physiological responses to food like Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs). CGMs, initially developed for diabetics, have gained popularity among health enthusiasts for tracking blood sugar levels, which directly influence various aspects of health, including energy and mood. As awareness of glucose management's importance grows, products like Abbott's Lingo aim to provide these monitoring tools to a broader audience, beyond just those with diabetes, further establishing the value of CGMs in maintaining general health.
"It is clear managing glucose levels could benefit the general population. This inspired Abbott to develop a product that would bring our glucose monitoring technology to an audience that traditional healthcare companies don't usually target -- the healthy -- to help them stay healthy."
"CGMs were designed for prediabetics and diabetics to track their blood sugar levels and alert them of spikes or lows. However, the device is increasingly used by fitness and health enthusiasts to understand body chemistry and nutrition."
