Glucose responses are not uniform - They will naturally vary from meal to meal and day to day.
For example, the same meal on two separate days can result in different glucose responses and Lingo Count. Here are a few variables that can create differences:
- Food and exercise habits
- Dehydration
- Certain medications, especially those containing steroids
- Stress
- Hormonal changes
- Infection, injury or surgery
- Illness (including certain viral illnesses like covid-19 which tends to negatively affect your glucose regulation)

Expired biosensor
- If your biosensor has expired, it might give inaccurate results. You can find the expiry date on the side of the biosensor carton.
Incorrect storage
- Your biosensor and applicator need to be stored between 2°C and 28°C. If they’re stored at extreme temperatures for long periods, your readings could be affected. Avoid keeping it in the car, near the oven or in the freezer.
If you think there is an issue with your biosensor, please contact Customer Support at lingosupport-us@hellolingo.com
When your biosensor readings are not consistent with your symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.
