[QUOTE="woodywhippet61, post: 1625988, member: 418778"] Yesterday mine was telling me that I was 2.4 or LO or 2.2 I'm a non medicating T2 and I wasn't exercising. 11.17pm 2.8 11.21 (finger prick) 5.7 11.40 2.7 Just as an example. The finger prick was done on the same meter/reader. However mine ALWAYS reads me mostly below 5 Generally in the 4's and sometimes in the 3's and if I check finger pricks are normally anything from 1.5 - 2.5 higher. So I've been adding 2 to whatever the Libre says I am. Then I had an A1c and my Libre average glucose was pretty accurate i.e. .4 out. So I now take it's readings more seriously. Also to be fair to the Libre the sensor has just fallen off so I think that it wasn't properly in yesterday and today. Edited to add I've also never had the degree of mismatch that you are experiencing between the Libre and a finger prick. [/QUOTE]
