Abbott revealed that its Lingo over-the-counter (OTC) continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and app is now available for Android devices.

Lingo is already available for Apple iOS devices. The expansion gives millions more people access to real-time glucose data to support informed decisions on health.

The Lingo CGM, which launched in the U.S. in September 2024, is for adults with diabetes who aren’t on insulin. It shows how food, movement, and stress affect glucose in real time so people can make small, science-backed adjustments that lead to measurable health improvements. According to Abbott, 95% of Lingo members report developing new habits based on glucose tracking.

The company said Lingo makes glucose insights more accessible and actionable by helping people understand how their glucose may influence their energy, hunger, and mood.

“Glucose levels and metabolic health are foundational for overall well-being and chronic disease prevention. The need for more glucose awareness is clear,” said Amy McKenzie, Ph.D., head of Medical Affairs for Abbott’s Lingo business. “Prediabetes—a condition where glucose is elevated but not yet in the diabetes range—impacts more than 98 million U.S. adults, yet 80% of those affected don’t know they have it. With awareness and lifestyle changes, prediabetes can be managed or reversed. Lingo provides the insight needed to help people understand their glucose patterns in real time, empowering informed choices that support better metabolic health.”

The CGM’s Lingo Count daily metric shows how much glucose spikes affect the body. It adds up the impact of each spoke based on how large and how long it lasts. When Lingo users with elevated glucose levels reduce their Lingo Count over about three months, Abbott said it cuts time above healthy range in half and lowers average glucose by 10%.
