AH, what you are saying is that a finger stick accesses capillary blood and is therefore more immediate than the CGM which accesses interstitial fluid? And that the CGM uses an algorithm to predict the current BG from data that is 20 minutes old? Thanks.

It is especially important in highly competitive sports because if you go high it becomes harder to breath, and if you go low you are going to get an adrenaline dump. Neither is desirable and you want to catch things before they get to that point so accuracy matters. The problem with sports like tennis is that the muscle type you use sucks up glucose like a sponge and it's really easy to go low. |
