[QUOTE="Britishbob, post: 1032880, member: 126469"] There will always be differences in readings on glucose measuring devices. Blood is a dynamic solution, it is different all over the body. Blood leaving the lungs is oxygenated while that returning is not. The Freestyle Libre measures glucose in the interstitial tissue not blood, so there will be a difference. In the tests I did Libre results were always close to the 2 different meters I tested it against. The Libre downloads show glucose levels throughout the day, something other meters don't do. It also shows what happens if you change your medication, while normal single point tests and HbA1c would struggle. On the reactions, unfortunately some people will, as some do with plasters, nuts, mushrooms, latex etc etc [/QUOTE]
