[QUOTE="ECDRUM, post: 1750743, member: 467306"] Hi Celsius Of course a finger prick will not change your BG but it will tell you what your BG is at that time as opposed to what your interstitial is at that time (or when the sensor last sampled). In normal circumstances the difference is minor and of little importance but when hypo or when BG or interstitial is changing rapidly the 10 or 15 mins difference could be material. That is why Abbott recommend a finger prick when Libre readings are low or changing rapidly. [/QUOTE]
