Ever compare your finger prick reading to your CGM and think… huh? 🤨 Here’s what’s happening...
A blood glucose meter (BGM) gives you a current glucose ‘snapshot’ directly from a fingerprick — in the moment 📸 While a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) streams your glucose ‘story’ from between your cells under your skin — minute-to-minute 📖 But they’re both accurate.
When you eat, exercise, stress, or sleep, glucose hits your bloodstream first. Then, it heads to the fluid between your cells. That’s why there’s a natural difference between BGM and CGM readings.
