[QUOTE="plantae, post: 2586200, member: 565464"] In hospital the nurse took my BSL using a finger prick test because she said it would be different to my libre. So I did the libre test and showed her immediately after her test. They were both 6.9. In reality most of the time [I]my[/I] tests are a few decimal points different but nothing I'd consider major or concerning. If I'm high (rarely) or low (fairly often at the moment) I still follow up with a finger prick... not always when I'm high, but always when I'm low. The arrows (rate of change) on the libre I find less reliable. Clearly, based on reports, this varies from person to person but all of my Libre sensors except one (which Abbot replaced) have pretty much exactly matched my Countour Next results... [/QUOTE]
