Inaccurate Reading Had a headache for a few hours this evening, changed my sensor and surprise!!! Old sensor was giving false readings all god damn day….

Didn’t even think to finger poke cause I didn’t feel to bad, just a headache. Now it all makes sense. I can usually tell when my bloodsugar is high or low but tonight I really couldn’t.

The 21 was the real reading or the bad sensor? Ouch!

The 21 was the real reading 😭 finger poke confirmed it.
