There may be times when the numbers temporarily don't match, but are likely to become closer
over time. For example:
l
Sensor’s first day: With newly inserted sensors, the differences between your BG meter
value and the sensor reading may be greater. Generally, the numbers get closer over the
first 24hours.
l
Pressure on sensor: Sometimes when something is pressing on your sensor, for example,
if you're lying on it, it can affect your sensor readings. Relieve the pressure and the
numbers should get closer.
To determine what to do, watch your sensor readings over several hours. If the sensor readings
are always higher (or always lower) than your BG meter values, consider using a different BG
meter or calibrating G7 using your BG meter. Also consider calibrating your G7 using your BG
meter if your G7 and BG meter numbers don't match, and your expectations or symptoms fit the
BG meter value, not the sensor reading.
