[QUOTE="sgm14, post: 2685816, member: 517358"] Do you have a finger-prick monitor to confirm? Not an expert, but I would have thought it would not be normal, otherwise it would mean that someone doing an finger-prick reading would not really have much idea of what their blood sugar really was. Small variations are normal, but for me the only time I can remember have seen changes by over 3 mmol/l in a 15 minute period have been either after eating, taking insulin, exercising. getting stressed or the false alarms due to a compression low. As far as I know the reason for the 1 hour warm-up time is that Abbott knows that puncturing your skin to insert the sensor filament causes trauma which can result in unreliable figures, so it is possible that whatever is causing the pain in your arm could be affecting the readings.
