[QUOTE="maglil55, post: 1627975, member: 52911"] It's a lot closer now than when I first started using them. When I started this thread it was a learning experience to find out what worked for me. What did work was applying the sensor 2 days before I needed to activate it and I found with that the readings were around 0.5 - 0.8 under the finger prick and I can live with that. When I applied the sensor and activated it straight away the readings were all over the place (sometimes with a gap of 3 or 4) for a good 36 hrs. I still finger prick but just to ensure I know where I am. Activation day I finger prick once the sensor is ready to scan and the scan 10 mins and 15 mins after the finger prick. I'll also do another couple of checks later in the day (usually before food) to see if the gap is consistent. The last sensor was really good at only 0.5 difference. Current is about 0.7 so good again. As I said I can live with that. [/QUOTE]
