Ultrahuman Launches M2 Live With Abbott Over‑the‑Counter Glucose Sensor

The product drops the U.S. prescription requirement by pairing Abbott's OTC Lingo sensor with Ultrahuman's AI, ring data, and a paid sensor‑plus‑subscription model.

Overview

  • Ultrahuman announced M2 Live on June 18, introducing a U.S. offering that uses Abbott's over‑the‑counter Lingo continuous glucose sensor to let adults monitor glucose without a prescription.
  • The service streams real‑time glucose to the Ultrahuman app where Jade AI calculates a daily Metabolic Score and generates personalized Food and Fueling Scores based on ring metrics like sleep, activity, HRV, and skin temperature.
  • Ultrahuman will sell single Lingo sensors through its site in the coming weeks with each sensor lasting up to 14 days and priced at about $129 while a subscription plan is set at about $99 per month.
  • M2 Live includes spike alerts, access to an anonymized food‑response database (OGDb), optional Blood Vision biomarker integration, and compatibility with Abbott Libre‑series sensors for broader device support.
  • Ultrahuman cites ongoing clinical validation and research partnerships with institutions including Stanford and the Mayo Clinic to support its Metabolic Score, a move that could broaden consumer access to CGM‑based wellness tools but raise cost and privacy questions for long‑term users.
