[QUOTE="Kaz1066, post: 2642216, member: 580327"] Hi, I'm a type 2 on insulin and meds and I have recently been put on the Freestyle Libre2 for my glucose monitoring. I tend to have the opposite problem to a lot of you that have commented in that my levels tend to always be high. However, when I queried with my diabetic nurse regarding the differences in the readings of my sensor and my FP, I was told that it is normal because they measure different fluids. The sensor measures interstitial fluid around muscle cells just under the skin whereas the FP measures capillary blood. I was just advised that if my sensor alarm went off for high (over 18mmols) to do a FP. Anyhow, I just thought I'd comment because no one on the thread had mentioned about the difference in the way the CGM works compared to finger pricking. [/QUOTE]
