Role reversal

“Do you really want your CGM to get its picture of the world based on one reading from your frickin’ fingerstick meter?”

--Beyond Fingersticks


I wish I could use my CGM to calibrate my fingerstick meter.

As you may recall, I’ve been unsure how good or not-good my health insurance mandated meter is, so I’ve been doing dual fingersticks. Not all of them, just ones for the CGM calibrations.

And you know what I’ve discovered? The little bastards are quite a bit off when I run two readings back-to-back. More so than with the iBG Star or the Presto I used before it. But here’s the ironic part: The G4 is always parked right between the two Nano readings.

Too bad I can’t use the G4 to calibrate the Nano, instead of having to use the Nano to calibrate the G4.

I’d be a lot better off.
