Estrogen and glucose: the connection
Learn how a glucose monitor can support perimenopause.
Find your midlife momentum
As estrogen declines during perimenopause, your body changes — impacting how you store fat, maintain muscle, and process glucose.1 These shifts can affect energy, sleep, body composition, and mood.
With a CGM, understanding your glucose can become your signal, guiding small lifestyle shifts that can lead to meaningful change.2 That’s where Lingo comes in. It helps you:
- Spot glucose spikes and adjust your meals and activity
- Fine-tune nutrition based on your unique response
- Track progress as you build healthier habits

The Lingo biosensor is a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). It attaches painlessly* to the back of your upper arm. You won’t even notice it’s there.
Get real-time glucose data
Your biosensor streams glucose data directly to your phone, so you can see the impact of your eating habits.
Connect with more health apps
Auto-sync workouts and glucose data†† between Lingo and Apple® Health or Health Connect™.

When it comes to steady glucose, hormone balance, and metabolic health, movement matters. Things like strength training can help build muscle and make it easier for your body to use glucose for energy.4
