@A DiabetesTeam Member Thanks.
@A DiabetesTeam Member Your 20 point difference is within the margin of error.
Neither are that accurate - it's noting the trend that is useful. It's said that as long as the margin of error is no greater than 20% then both are acceptable in their own ways or as an indicator of trends.
Some times my finger prick is more than my meter, sometimes less. Also just think how quickly bgs can change in a short time so it's best not to take them too seriously.
Having said that they are useful because they can give an indication of what's happening in your body.
I've noticed that people tend to complain when their meters are suspected of over reading never of under reading 😀
@A DiabetesTeam Member Now that I know there will be a slight difference I'll continue with my CGM but factor in the fact of a difference.
Finger stick actually because it measure the blood sample directly. The sensor does not.
