Good evening, I got an alarm from my Libre2 to say my sugars were down to 2.9, did a finger prick test and it was 4.6, what one is the most accurate?

Thanks Stuart
 
I always believe a fingerprick over my Libre, but when in doubt I wash hands and retest.
Some residual food on the fingers can easily give a false test result.

Your profile doesn't say what type of diabetes you have or what medication you are on.
Are you on medication that can cause hypos like gliclazide or insulin?
