[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2013323, member: 140811"] Not really. Your blood is circulating and taking in nutrients and 'stuff' from organs such as the pancreas and liver. It's also depositing nutrients (and glucose of course) where it's most needed. So it's constantly changing and the blood in your thumb will be different to the blood in your little finger depending on the rate of change and rate of circulation and it seems many other variables including the test meter and strips. I would expect to get closer correlation between fingers if my glucose levels had been flat(ish) for several hours. All makes monitoring more fun! [/QUOTE]
