The partnership will let registered dietitians use users’ glucose trends to tailor advice on food, exercise, sleep and stress, while offering discounted Lingo plans.
Abbott is widening the use of its Lingo continuous glucose monitor by linking it with virtual nutrition counselling from Berry Street, in a partnership that aims to turn glucose readings into more tailored advice on diet and daily habits. According to Abbott and Berry Street, the arrangement lets registered dietitians trained on Lingo review users’ glucose trends and shape recommendations around food, exercise, sleep and stress.
Lingo is sold over the counter for adults aged 18 and over who are not using insulin. The system tracks how lifestyle choices affect glucose levels, and users can connect with Berry Street’s online nutrition services through the Lingo website and email communications, the companies said.
Berry Street says it works with more than 1,250 health plans, and the companies say 96% of its clients pay nothing out of pocket, although actual coverage depends on the individual insurance plan. Berry Street users can also buy four-week Lingo plans at a 15% discount under the partnership.
Noah Kotlove, Berry Street’s chief executive and co-founder, said the combination of continuous glucose insights and registered dietitian expertise creates a more personalised approach to nutrition. Abbott, which announced the tie-up on 23 September, said the goal is to help consumers turn metabolic data into practical action through one-on-one coaching backed by glucose trends.
