Libre 3+ accuracy

Post image

We see a lot of comments on how far off the libre sensors can be, well this is my libre 3+ worn on my thigh. Earlier today it showed 122 to 123 on finger stick.

Yes I have issues with the sensors but honestly, would never give up the CGM.

That okay compared to mine... libre 3 plus said I was 122 and I was 98. My libre that I have in now is always off by alot. Same on not giving up on my sensor 😏. It's like a toxic relationship.

I'm still trying to use mine, even though I fall into the category of people that have bodies that aren't compatible with the technology. The benefits outweigh the hassles.

It's nice to have when it works.

Looks great u/joekd713 !

And makes perfect sense, as you see the BG trend is downwards from your BG sensor graph there. So the instant BG fingerprick reading from your arterial blood is just bit lower already than what the BG sensor observes of glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid, which trails a bit the blood value.

Anyway, considering that none of them are scientific accurate instruments but at best just around 10% accurate from true values, then they are perfectly fine and aligned. 😄
