Ultrahuman Details
Product changed:M2 Live launched in the US on 18 June 2026, built on Abbott's Lingo CGM, replacing the M1 product this row previously described. $99/month for 2 sensors (introductory pricing), or $129 for a single sensor one-time. NO PRESCRIPTION is required, unlike the earlier M1 which needed one. Bundled with Ultrahuman Premium and Jade AI insights. A one-year plan exists shipping 26 sensors in four batches every 10 weeks, but Ultrahuman does not publish its price, so the annual figure here is 12 x the monthly rate and is likely an overestimate.
FreeStyle Libre 3 Details
Retail cash price around $241/mo for two 15-day sensors. Abbott savings programs and pharmacy discount cards can bring this substantially lower. The OTC Lingo sensor is built on this same platform.
