CES 2026: Glucose tracking arrives in Withings app through Abbott Lingo partnership
Withings is adding glucose data to its health ecosystem, and it’s doing it with a big name in metabolic tech. Announced at CES 2026, the company has partnered with Abbott to integrate its Lingo continuous glucose monitor directly into the Withings app. Initially available through Apple Health and Health Connect, the integration will become fully native by early Q1.
The Lingo CGM is an over-the-counter sensor that sits on the skin and continuously tracks blood glucose trends. While originally designed for people with diabetes or prediabetes, this latest push targets a broader user base looking to manage energy, mood and weight through better glucose awareness.
Why this matters for metabolic health
Continuous glucose tracking is no longer just about diabetes management. It’s increasingly seen as a general health tool. Fluctuating glucose can affect energy, sleep, and cognitive function. Stable patterns are associated with better metabolic outcomes and lower risk of long-term conditions like insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.
Withings says this partnership brings a new layer of metabolic insight into its platform. Existing devices like its smart scales and watches already track over 90 health biomarkers, from vascular age to body composition. Glucose adds a dynamic, real-time component to that data set, offering users immediate feedback on how their lifestyle affects their physiology.
This approach mirrors what other companies in the space are doing. Garmin, Oura, and others are all exploring integrations rather than trying to build glucose sensors themselves. That’s partly because reliable non-invasive CGMs don’t exist yet. Until they do, working with established players like Abbott makes more sense.
I tried something similar myself with the Ultrahuman M1 Live and found it surprisingly useful. Being able to see how my glucose levels reacted to workouts, meals or even poor sleep made a big difference. It actually helped me connect the dots between energy dips, recovery and what I’d done earlier in the day. Granted, it does make you a bit overly obsessed about your data!
How to access the feature
Users in the US can sync their glucose data to the Withings app by connecting Abbott Lingo to Apple Health or Health Connect. Direct integration via API is coming soon, which will allow data to flow directly from the Lingo app to Withings without relying on third-party bridges.
Lingo sensors are already available for purchase via the Withings website at $89 for a pack that includes two biosensors. The goal is to make this type of tracking accessible for anyone curious about how their body responds to food, activity, or stress.
According to Withings founder Eric Carreel, the vision is simple: put as much useful information as possible into one app, so people don’t have to jump between platforms. That includes insights on arterial stiffness, fat mass, sleep, heart rate, and now, glucose.
Withings, like others, is leaning into that curiosity. The Lingo integration is just the latest in a series of moves toward making the app a one-stop hub for personal health tracking. And for users already in the ecosystem, it’s a logical next step.
The company also debuted their Body Scan 2 at CES 2026. This is a smart health scale that promises clinical-grade insights from a 90-second full-body scan. The device collects a multitude of biomarkers in one session, using a combination of bioimpedance spectroscopy, impedance cardiography and ECG to track cellular age, cardiovascular efficiency, arterial stiffness and more.
