[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2631993, member: 6467"] Accuracy: Venous blood draw>finger prick peripheral vascular>interstitial fluid. Anyway, that is my understanding. In my personal experience Libre 2 sensors are variable. Most read high compared to a finger prick. A few read low. The predicted HbA1c is generally significantly lower than the venous blood draw results. An interesting thought, though. Is the interstitial fluid the medium through which the cells take up glucose from the blood? In which case, is it more realistic at a cellular level than the glucose circulating in the blood stream? That is, it shows what the individual cell sees when it takes up glucose. Answers on a postcard. :) [/QUOTE]
