Blood Sugar Monitoring


(FRANK) #1

Good morning all,

Looking for feedback on accuracy between CGM readings and finger stick readings. Just got my Dexcom Stelo. Stelo reading is 128 and Contour Next finger prick is 103. Quite a difference. Wondering which one is accurate? Any thoughts?

Good luck, Frank. I had the Stelo and bought a pin-prick monitor that is supposedly within 9% of the real value. I got pin prick readings that were above, the same, or below the Stelo’s. I couldn’t find a clear pattern.

I’d use the Stelo more for patterns than actual values.

Thanks Bob. Same here, what I’m looking for is the impact of various foods on my BS. Would also like to see where the levels are at during sleep and when I wake.
