Tennis star Serena Williams is using Abbott 's over-the-counter continuous glucose monitor ( CGM ), Lingo , to understand her body on a deeper level.

Williams does not have diabetes, but she's part of a wider trend of Nondiabetics using these monitors to gather information about their personal health.

Williams has found a deeper level of understanding her body through monitoring it closely.

The 23 -time Grand Slam singles champ says a 10-minute walk can really flatten or lower your glucose spike.

Williams says improved energy levels means she can spend more time with her kids.

The Lingo app allows users to log meals and activities to track what has the greatest effect on glucose levels.
