[QUOTE="ringi, post: 2005695, member: 410240"] Due to the Libre not measureing [B]blood[/B] glocose directly, (it measures glocose in the liquid between cells) there is a delay in the readings it gives. Hence a spike on the Libre would show up on a BG meter something like 15 minutes early. The "direction of change" indicators can have a longer lag, as they are based on multiple readings. Another factor is thst while blood glocose is changing fast the blood in different parts of the body will have a different BG level. These high spikes are likely to be harmful and will be very hard to prevent without changing to a breakfast that contains more protein, for example eggs. [/QUOTE]
