Ultrahuman has announced the launch of M2 Live in the United States, expanding access to continuous glucose monitoring and metabolic health insights for consumers without diabetes. The new platform integrates glucose data from Abbott’s over-the-counter Lingo continuous glucose monitor (CGM), allowing users to track their metabolic health without requiring a prescription.
The launch represents a significant step for the company, which helped popularize glucose monitoring for wellness-focused consumers when it introduced its first metabolic tracking platform in 2021. With M2 Live, Ultrahuman is aiming to make the technology more affordable and accessible, with subscriptions starting at $99 per month and individual sensors priced at $129.
The company says the platform is designed for adults looking to better understand how food, exercise, stress, and sleep affect their bodies in real time. It is also available to people with prediabetes who are interested in improving their overall metabolic health.
Unlike traditional glucose monitoring solutions that focus solely on blood sugar levels, M2 Live combines glucose data with other health metrics to provide a more comprehensive picture of wellness.
The platform integrates information from Abbott’s Lingo biosensor with data collected from the Ultrahuman Ring and the company’s Blood Vision service, which analyzes more than 100 blood biomarkers. This allows users to view glucose patterns alongside sleep quality, activity levels, recovery, stress, heart rate variability, and body temperature.
Powering the experience is Jade AI, Ultrahuman’s real-time biointelligence engine. The system analyzes health data and helps explain why glucose levels rise or fall by connecting them to lifestyle factors such as meals, exercise routines, sleep habits, and recovery patterns.
M2 Live also includes several tools designed to make glucose data easier to understand. These include a daily Metabolic Score ranging from 0 to 100, personalized Food Scores that show how specific foods affect glucose levels, real-time spike alerts, workout-focused Fueling Scores, and access to OGDb, which the company describes as the world’s largest open glucose database.
According to Ultrahuman, only one in eight US adults is metabolically healthy, contributing to conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The company believes that providing real-time metabolic insights can help users make better health decisions before serious health problems develop.
Ultrahuman is also highlighting the scientific foundation behind the platform.
The company says its Metabolic Score has been clinically validated through a multi-center study published in Nature, demonstrating its ability to distinguish between non-diabetic and prediabetic individuals. It also points to recent collaborations with Stanford University, Bangor University, La Trobe University, and the Mayo Clinic as part of its broader metabolic health research efforts.
The launch comes at a time when consumer health technology is rapidly moving beyond simple fitness tracking and into deeper health monitoring. As over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors become more widely available, platforms like M2 Live could help bring metabolic health tracking to a much broader audience.
Ultrahuman says M2 Live will be available in the US through its website in the coming weeks. Each Lingo sensor can be worn for up to 14 days, giving users continuous access to glucose data and personalized health insights throughout the day.
The OnePlus Buds Clip are a new pair of open-ear earbuds built around a simple convenience. They join Sony’s LinkBuds Clip in the growing ear-cuff category, but either OnePlus bud can go on either ear.
Sensors recognize how the earbuds are being worn and route the audio channels accordingly. There’s no label to check before putting them on, and the feature also works when only one bud is used.
We buy fitness bands and activity trackers to keep tabs on our exercise, but it is easy to forget to start tracking or switch modes when moving between different activities. For Fitbit and Pixel Watch users, that could soon become a lot less annoying, as Google is rolling out a major upgrade to automatic activity tracking that can recognize more than 100 types of exercise, up from just 10 before.
Google first showed off the improved tracking earlier this month alongside the Fitbit Edge. It is now coming to Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5, and Google claims the added context behind the system makes workout detection nearly twice as accurate while cutting missed activities by more than half. Fitbit Edge will support it too.
