[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2213280, member: 6467"] Labs don't test BG they test HbA1c - at least in my part of the UK. My current Libre is reading consistently 1 to 1.5 mmol/L low compared to my finger prick test. Not sometimes the same, sometimes higher, sometimes lower (as if it was reading the same actual value to an accuracy of +/-15%) but consistently lower. Anything is possible but I think the odds are against the Libre being more accurate using interstitial fluid to estimate BG than a finger prick using real blood. [/QUOTE]
