A day in the life with Lingo

Year-to-year. Month-to-month. Day-to-day. Your daily Lingo journey is designed to help you meet your needs and move towards your health goals. Along the way, you’ll learn from personal recommendations to take steps towards reducing your glucose spikes.  

Morning 

As you start your day, see your glucose status for the morning, review yesterday, and view your daily Lingo Count target to start the day strong.   

You’ll naturally accrue Lingo Count across your day from meals, snacks, and even stress.  The more spikes, the more Lingo Count you accrue.  Your goal is to stay below or at your daily Lingo Count target, which updates on a weekly basis based on your progress.    

Mid-morning 

If mid-morning hunger hits, check in with your Lingo graph to see if your hunger could be related to a post-breakfast spike and crash. You can check in on your graph and log key activities any time of day, so stay on it and adjust your meal planning.     

Remember to set aside time for activity too.  Daily activity is vital to wellbeing, so commit to moving more every day.  Add more steps after every meal, set aside time for exercise, and move towards improved glucose control and metabolism.¹ 

Afternoon 

Fight off post-lunch glucose crashes by choosing savoury, not sweet foods, opting for satiating, high-protein, and low-carbohydrate choices instead of sugar-packed options.  The former helps keep you full and won’t derail your progress.² 

Evening 

For your last meal of the day, build your perfect dinner plate: ½ colourful vegetables, ¼ high-quality proteins, and ¼ whole grains, root veggies, or other starches. Resist overindulging with dessert or alcohol.  Research has found that meals high in protein and healthy fats with moderate complex carbs can improve sleep quality.³

Before you close the kitchen for the evening, log your meal and add in a few steps, sit-ups, or dance moves to help you burn off some energy.   

Check in with Lingo. How did you do?

Following your glucose across the course of the day can give you valuable insight into how your meals and activities impact not just your glucose, but also your overall wellbeing.  Over time, you can discover the habits that best support your glucose control and metabolism, helping you feel your best each day.
