[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2203361, member: 101136"] Oddly, even when calibrated, there is still a lag with the current result. I go by the trend in the arrow. (The direction calculated on previous successive reading.) I can feel hypo. (As a hypo inducing med user.) Look at the result & think "close but no cigar." With a downward arrow. Treat the hypo & sure enough, a proper low reads on the line 5/10 mins later before I start to see a rise from the fast acting carb. It's easy to panic & feel the carbs arn't working fast enough, then overtreat. Calibrated. & on a straight line. (Horizontal arrow.) I find the reading (if not bang on to the meter) within 0.2, maybe 0.4? Of course always back up any suspect sensor readings with a BG meter.. [/QUOTE]
