[QUOTE="misswhiplash, post: 884051, member: 148843"] This is correct. The tolerance is about 15% for Libre and something similar for the BG meter. This means that with an *actual* BG of, say, 5.5, Libre could show 4.7 and meter 6.3 and both would still be "right". Obviously for higher numbers, this gap gets bigger and bigger. Personally, I find them reasonable close (for good numbers) generally, when I bother to check, but that Libre tends to read highs high and lows low (which I think is to do with the prediction algorithm it uses. All these things are missing the point a bit for me, though - the real magic of the Libre is not the numbers, but the graphs you see afterwards - the line. [/QUOTE]
