Ultrahuman’s M2 – Ultrahuman is rolling out M2 Live, its second-generation continuous glucose monitoring platform for the US, priced to be far more accessible. Using Abbott’s over-the-counter Lingo sensors, the system is set for release in the “coming weeks,” with a $129 single
The first thing Ultrahuman is changing with M2 Live isn’t the glow of the app or the promise of “insights.” It’s the price tag — and, just as importantly, the path to getting the hardware.
Ultrahuman announced M2 Live as its second-generation continuous glucose monitoring platform for the US. positioning it as cheaper and easier to access than its predecessor. While Ultrahuman is selling the overall system. the company says users are essentially buying access to one of Abbott’s medical-grade CGMs.
That approach marks a clear shift from M1 Live. M1 Live used Abbott’s Freestyle Libre. which was only available in the US with a prescription and carried a far higher cost than in other territories. With M2 Live, Ultrahuman is instead harnessing Abbott’s Lingo monitor, described as an over-the-counter option. The sensor syncs with the Ultrahuman app. and the company frames that as how glucose data gets blended with whatever a user’s ring is tracking.
The product pitch stays rooted in the same belief that’s driving much of metabolic tech: glucose doesn’t exist in isolation. Ultrahuman’s pitch is that glucose data becomes more useful when it’s combined with activity stats like sleep. stress. and exercise. The company says those signals are processed by Jade. Ultrahuman’s AI. which generates a metabolic score and guidance on what a user should do and where they can improve.
M2 Live is set to be available in the US in the “coming weeks.” Ultrahuman plans to sell a single sensor priced at $129, and each sensor can be used for 14 days. Access to the service will also cost money: the monthly subscription is priced at $99 per month.
For people who’ve been watching continuous glucose monitoring creep beyond diabetes care, the real story here is access — not just what the device measures, but who it’s meant to reach next.

So it’s like a smartwatch but for diabetes stuff? $99 a month is still wild though.
Wait this is OTC? Then why does everyone act like these things require prescriptions? Seems like they’re just marketing it as cheaper and still getting paid.
I saw “coming weeks” and thought it already launched lol. Also $129 for 14 days?? that’s like a week and a half. Unless they mean refill prices but the article didn’t say it right.
I don’t get the whole ring+glucose combo. Like if you eat bad it just tells you? That’s not AI that’s common sense. But sure “Jade” will judge my stress or whatever. Also Abbott Lingo sounds like it’s gonna be locked to their app anyway.
