[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2639151, member: 527103"] It is a shame that your Diabetic Team told you it is unnecessary to finger prick when wearing a CGM. This is definitely not the case: even Abbott advise to test with a finger prick at times. CGMs have limitations that neither Abbott nor diabetes teams tend to share but these are repeated many times on the forum. If you are using a CGM to dose potentially fatal medication such as insulin, it is important to TEST CGM READINGS AGAINST FINGER PRICKS at least when high and low, and a few times during the first few days when levels are stable and not high or low. I would not put the fault at the feet of Abbott, it seems to me that your Diabetic Team misinformed you. (Very off-topic but ... Nice Tatts!) [/QUOTE]
