[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 1610841, member: 160898"] [USER=445578]@Peter_Sylvester[/USER] Reading variations: Here’s a link to a research paper into interstitial fluid glucose testing (not the Libre, but similar technology): [URL]http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/26/8/2405[/URL] In summary, their tests showed that the sensor glucose (SG) readings lagged behind blood glucose (BG) readings by an average of 17.2 ± 7.2 minutes. In addition, when glucose was rising/spiking, the increase in SG was less than that in BG (different to Peter’s experience); whereas when BG was falling, the decrease in SG was greater (similar to Peter’s experience). I can’t say I’ve compared my SG/BG closely enough to tell. I’ve definitely had numerous warnings of hypos from my Libre, which proved to be false when I blood-tested, but that’s the right way around as far as I’m concerned! I only use finger-prick tests for driving these days, so that’s the only time I compare my Libre results; with the Libre usually -0.5 out. [/QUOTE]
