[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 633230, member: 89494"] Readings were very close. Varied by 1 or 2 mmol. Its the same as blood glucose meters. There is a variable between 1 to 3 mmols. If you take a blood sample and test it using 2 different meters, there will be a variable difference. If you test different fingers using the same meter at the same time, you will get variable readings. Have you ever felt hypo and tested and your BG was say 4? Have you ever tested out of the blue, feeling completely normal and got a hypo reading? Its all relative and within the accepted variables. I guess glucose gets into the entire body even the interstital fluid. The blood glucose levels - rising or dropping in intstitial fluid is probably slower than blood but with formulas and programming, I guess they have carried out years of study to match it to blood readings. i guess what I am saying is they have done so much research into matching interstitial fluid to blood to get an almost acurate conversion / reading. Abbott have had loads of type 1 diabetics trial the product and loads of normal healthy non diabetics trail the product and so far its been spot on. Apparantly theres a whole team of type 1's, type 2's and non diabetics trialing the product as we speak at Kings College. [/QUOTE]
