Health care company Abbott has entered into a partnership to connect Google Health to its Lingo continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
The Lingo data can also be shared with the Google Health Coach, which offers AI-driven recommendations based on an individual's information.
Engadget reported on the growing trend of non-diabetics using continuous glucose monitors back in 2023 and found little research that supported the benefits for that population to track blood sugar spikes so closely.
An article from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health published earlier this year reiterated that the health benefits of a CGM for non-diabetics are pretty hazy.
But it also wouldn't be surprising if the findings suggest more people buy Lingo devices or subscribe to the Google Health Premium subscription.
