Oestrogen and glucose:
the connection
Learn how a glucose monitor can support perimenopause.
Find your midlife momentum
As oestrogen declines during perimenopause, your body changes — impacting how you store fat1 and process glucose.2 Glucose fluctuations can affect energy, sleep, hunger, and mood.3
With a CGM, your glucose can become your signal, guiding small lifestyle shifts that can lead to meaningful change.4,5,6 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 healthy habits

Your biosensor streams glucose data directly to your phone, so you can see the impact of your eating habits.
Connect with more health apps

Steadier glucose can support hormone changes
Keeping your glucose steady can help you build habits that help combat symptoms of oestrogen shifts and boost metabolic health.⁷ Here’s how you can help:
When it comes to steady glucose and metabolic health, movement matters. As muscle naturally declines with age1, the body becomes less efficient at using glucose for energy.8 Strength training can help preserve and build muscle, making it easier for your body to use glucose for energy.9
