What it does

A small round biosensor put on the back of the upper arm with an applicator and worn for up to 14 days. It measures glucose in the fluid under the skin minute by minute and the Lingo phone app shows the readings as a graph, how they change after meals, and a weekly report.

From the description on shop.hellolingo.com.
