Overall Accuracy against BG values
Accuracy was measured by comparing the absolute relative dierence between the System and BG
values. The absolute relative dierence measures the level of disagreement between the System
and the BG value, but does not tell you whether the System glucose value was, on average, higher
or lower than the BG value. The Mean Absolute Relative Dierence gives an indication of the average
percent disagreement between the CGM and the BG value. Table 5 shows the overall absolute
dierence measure. Overall the Mean Absolute Relative Dierence was 11.4% for the comparison
with BG value. The Median Absolute Relative Dierence shows that half of the time the System was
within 9.1% of the BG value.

* Comparison to BG was performed using the Reader’s built-in blood glucose meter. Dierent performance may
be expected when compared to other models of blood glucose meters.
