Double checking with as blood glucose meter

[Inka]

My alarm is set at 5 Inka

I’ve got mine on 5.6 and I find that helps a lot. Even an alarm a few decimal points higher helps. Of course, it depends on the particular sensor as some read high, some low. I treat anything below 5 (on a fingerprick) with a tiny top-up of glucose carbs just to keep my hypo awareness sharp.

Have you managed to remove the transmitter? If not you just sort of fold the wider end of the outer sensor casing downwards and it will slide out.

Not yet thank you I will do that.

I will try mine set a bit higher- makes sense now you’ve said it Inka! X

I used to feel like this with the libre(the only reason I spotted using wasn't because of that but because of the fails) however I have learnt over the past year that the same blood sample on different mettets will give different results.
