Differences between blood test and freestyle sensor

@joelsa, my daughter marked her as 20 less, so she put the alarm between 50 and 150, because if not, I let her sleep, marking hypos that she didn't have.
Now with the new update it seems that it is more accurate.
You have to look at how you go to you.

I had the same problem with freestyle, if I was in rank there was no problem, but hypoglycemia did not detect them well.The other day the sensor marked me 85 and I was really 37.I am also pregnant and should be between 65 and 100 according to my endocrine, so it is even more dangerous for having to be on the verge of hiccups almost.
I told my endocrine and told me that it could not be, that I had already noticed that there are people to whom the freestyle does not detect the hypo well.He told me that normally the sensors have a greater sensitivity to the hypo and that if I am at 60 the sensor should mark even less to warn before and not have scares.This week has changed me to Dexcom One and for the moment I see that it detects them before, if I am in 65, the sensor marks me 50.

I would talk to your endocrinology team and ask them if there is an option to change the sensor.

It makes me funny when we tell the endocrine and says it can't be ...
Let's see, we are not going to invent it, it's even upset ...
They will know about theory, but we much more of practice, which in the end is reality ...

@isabelbota to me one of the many endocrine that I have had throughout these years, entered me ... because it was not believed that certain things would happen to me ...
I was a teenager and it was thought that I lied to my parents and that I was in a "bad age."
I wanted to check firsthand.And what if he checked ... so much that once I made my pleasure that I saw that my diabetes was not from the book that he had studied, I told him that until never again and that another cubaya was sought ...

A pity.There are wonderful professionals, who have a lack of time and would like to help us more and others because their note gave him for medicine and although they have no empathy should study that career by tradition, by renown, etc ... etc.

@Silvia, those endocrine were the ones who fueled patients for having hypos or hypers ... but from the sensors they can no longer do that.
On the other hand, the best, they always knew what was happening and knew it was the diabetic himself who could best adjust the treatment.

How right, there are "doctors" who have fair empathy to be hardware assistants and others who believe they are professors and gray matter does not give them.Unfortunately it happens in many sectors but in the sanitary one is missing more empathy and professionalism.From what I have read I think that, in most cases, our best doctors will end up being ourselves.

Endo has told me that there can be differences in the sensor of 20-30 and up to 40% when the values ​​are not stable, don't you think much?

Yes, but those who manufacture it to a 70-80 difference with the capillary consider it assumable and acceptable ... that is, it can mark me 110 and have 40 ...

If it were 20/30 it would be acceptable.But when there is hyper, hypos or sudden changes the differences can be greater.But well, knowing it is checked and that's it.
