What was your blood sugar from a finger prick test? Cgm's are only designed to be accurate between 4 and 10, so readings outside of this should be checked with a blood test.

I don’t know as I didn’t do one. Although I have just done a finger prick before my dinner and my blood sugar was reading 6.6 on my meter and my cgm is currently 6.5

I thought it was pretty normal for T1s to have levels all over the place as you work out what your insulin needs are. (Disclaimer, not a doctor).

I’m seeing my Diabetes Nurse tomorrow. Hopefully she can give me some answers and maybe adjust my insulin doses!
