Well they say there is a delay between the Libre and finger. However if it works well for you that’s great. Well done on the climb up Scar-Fell

The DEXCOM is the same way— international fluids being read for blood sugars every 5 minutes.

After over 50 odd YEARS of finger tests I am OVER the moon ! There is far to much criticism on this site. I like others are doing this to HELP people. My bg goes down when playing chess. & that's a fact !

I learned that when I sometimes read a book, my numbers start to go down because ‘it uses sugar’, like my parents like to say!😀👍
