@A DiabetesTeam Member typically anytime after early March is fine - typically it's just Jan/Feb that we get whacked all the time with ice storms or the criss crossing between snow and freezing rain

The glucose meter I now use is the Freestyle Freedom Lite which I’ve found to be +/- 5.0 accurate.

So in answer to the question posed, relying on one’s glucose meter is paramount in playing the diabetic game. I DON’T like the game…but I choose to play; therefore, I’ve aligned myself with proper diabetic tools. (Possibly going to Dexcom 7 in near future…)

Good question senor…🦍

My most recent blood draw for fbg was 6.8..Freestyle Lite was 6.5..Dexcom 6 was 6.7..seems like everything working just fine..I calibrate my Dexcom every new sensor and compare it to my Freestyle..I'm insulin dependant Lada (type 1.5)

I concur and same answer as Joseph...Dexcom6 is the answer...I can enter my carb and insulin intake in my D6 receiver menu. I finger stick only to calibrate if I suspect my D6 meter reading from my skin sensors comes in too high; and is seldom that I do this. I find usually the margin of error is within 10pts and my finger stick usually comes in lower, then I can re-calibrate with my new BS number and adjust baseline BS in my D6 receiver meter and after I enter the new BS reading I am always relieved to see and set the accurate BS on my D6 receiver. I suggest all diabetics get Dexcom6 as it has taken the guessing game out of the diabetes equation. Any questions hit me back...!! Good luck and God bless all. Splender-ific morning...127BS.😀
