[QUOTE="Bogie, post: 2522476, member: 185765"] Perfect! I love the FGM. The best way to go for T1-T2 and personal monitoring. I finger prick test occasionally just to validate the FGM (FreeStyle Libre) readings. Note: One thing I have noticed is that if it reads as being low (3 or 4), do a finger prick blood test to double-check. The FGM seems to be reading too low if you are heading into the low territory. I had a 4.1 mmol/l reading (and it showed lower in the graph - into the 3 range), but a fingerprick blood test showed 6.4 mmol/l. Yes, I do realize the time delays using an FGM over a traditional blood test, but the FGM seems to have trouble with accurate low readings over using a CGM (Dexcom) or blood test. [/QUOTE]
