[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2237326, member: 140811"] I am not sure where you are but in the UK and I suspect most of the EU - meters are supposed to conform to an ISO standard. This standard permits an error reading of +/-15%. Let's say for arguments sake that your actual blood glucose level was 6mmol/L - 15% is 0.9 giving you a range of 5.1 to 6.9. Bearing in mind the 'libre lag' and the fact the arrow is showing an upward trend AND the libre reading appears to be some 13 minutes before the Accucheck I think it's kinda OK. (Were they 13 minutes apart or am I missing something?) Libre is much more useful for spotting trends than actual blood glucose reading although I have had some pretty close readings in the past. See if you get better correlation when your sugar levels have stabilised - when the Libre arrow has been horizontal for a while. [/QUOTE]
