The Abbott Lingo and Libre Rio, two over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors, are designed to help people learn more about their glucose levels.
Abbott announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration has cleared two new over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors . The Lingo is designed for health-conscious consumers who want to get greater insight into their metabolism. Meanwhile, the Libre Rio is designed for Type 2 diabetics who don’t rely on insulin. CGMs are small wearable sensors that you typically wear for about 14 days at a time.
In the app, users will be able to view coaching insights into a person’s reactions to certain foods, exercise, and stress. However, as a wellness device, it’s not intended to be used to diagnose any metabolic disorders or inform diabetes treatment. The Libre Rio, however, is aimed at Type 2 diabetics who don’t use insulin and instead manage their condition through lifestyle changes. It’ll be able to track glucose ranges between 40 and 400 mg/dL.
