[QUOTE="phil1966, post: 1168755, member: 144138"] Unfortunately, it doesn't even seem to be consistently out! Take this morning's readings: 6:17am - 3.7 finger prick 6:32am - 5.8 scan So that means the scan is reading 2.1 above the finger prick (allowing 15 minutes as it's interstitial on the scanner - I took readings between and they were all the same too) 6:59am - 4.3 finger prick 7:14am - 9.0 scan So it's now 4.7 out and a 0.6 increase on finger prick has translated to a 3.2 increase on the scan About the only thing I can derive from the graph is that my blood sugar increases when I eat and then drops, but I knew that already - it's completely useless to indicate exactly how much the food affects me because it's reading an inconsistent amount above I actually bought this so I could get some graphs to show my Dr and hopefully reduce my meds, but it's certainly not going be any use for that!
