Hi Dia-tribe
I have a quick question that I know some of you will be best placed to answer.
What should the difference be in readings between the freestyle libre and a blood prick (I use my palms as a testing site)?
Last night the reader gave me a reading of 3.2 but I knew that wasn’t right so I FP and the reading was 5.9. I had a waking reading of 7.2 on my sensor this morning but FP showed 9.8.
I have a sickle cell trait that affects the shape of my blood cells and I have to have another truer test along with my HBA1C to give me a true indication of my diabetes management.
So I’m wondering is the differences in reading normal in the FSL or do I need to be concerned?
Thanks for reading and hopefully answering.
