Do people often get false readings compared to finger pricking? |

They can differ quite a bit. I was surprised at my recent DAFNE Refresher day to be told that the Libre 2 is more accurate than finger pricking. There is a 5-10 minute lag between BGL readings and the readings from the interstitial fluid that the Libre 2 gets its readings from. It's not really an issue if your BGLs are flat, but if they are rising or dropping quickly, then you can expect a bit of a difference. |
