So if the device shows you are burning a certain time of day does this mean that is the best time to exercise? Does it show the best time to eat?

[@Shanester66]

Do they give instructions on how to "put the data into action"? It's great to know if your fat or carb burning but without instructions on how to impact the number I would think the data would be kind of useless.

[@keywestfan2503]

My question exactly. And can never get a straight answer. So you’re burning carbs…now what?

[@lucybabe232]

Buyer we aware, there is only a return policy if the box has NOT BEEN OPENED!!!! you cannot try it for any amount of time and return. HORRIBLE POLICY!

[@user-jy8cm8li4v]

You pay a lot of money for this device and then you pay more money by paying the monthly subscription or annual. So it's a big NO!

[@hatekast]

Q: If I cancel my subscription, can I still use my device? A: Yes, for Lumen devices purchased starting July 30th, 2023, after the cancellation comes into effect you’ll still be able to take unlimited metabolic measurements. However, you won’t have access to the Lumen membership experience, including personalized insights and guidance.

For me the investment has been a Godsend. To each their own, but it's an useful tool if you're doing everything else right.

[@Kimboagogo1]

Unfortunately this will cost me $260.06 CAD not $199.00. I wish we could buy these devices in CAD's. Is there another device that is Canadian that does the same thing?

Thanks for sharing your experience on using Lumen. I'd like to try it out, but am wondering if the device would still work after cancelling my membership? I want to use the device to measure my breath but don't need a nutrition plan or expert guidance long term.

From their site: If I cancel my membership, can I still use the Lumen device? “Yes, for Lumen devices purchased starting July 30th, 2023, after the cancellation comes into effect you’ll still be able to take unlimited metabolic measurements. However, you won’t have access to the Lumen membership experience, including personalized insights and guidance.”

[@Lou_Mansfield]

@@Subrosathefirst thank you for the answer!

[@sandraengels]

Hi, Thanks for the video. Can we use one device with more people?

[@HealthyMomHappyFamily]

That's a great question! The information Lumen provides is unique to you, so if you wanted to use it with more than one person/profile, you would just need to have separate app accounts to each use the device. I believe Lumen also has a Lumen DUO plan that can be used by 2 people :) I hope this helps!

[@Shanester66]

How do you know your exhaling into the Lumen was not suitable? Is there an error code that comes up?
