Question about Abbott Sensor

Hello all I would like to buy the device to check how my body reacts to food in order to adjust my lifestyle. I am not diabetic, but the majority of my family is, so I want to be careful. I read a lot about the inaccuracies of the data. Is it a faulty sensor, problem with the insertion and is it really that problematic? Is the device reliable? Many thanks

Like you, I wanted to know how my blood sugar levels reacted to my diet.

I love this device, but the truth is that sometimes the data are not very accurate, as with the blood test. You have to ignore the first 24 hours of track...and then I recommend testing your morning blood sugar with the blood test and adjusting the data in the Freestyle sensor (sometimes you have to go up , sometimes go down) . Overall, it is very valuable to see the fluctuation of your blood sugar during the day. With time and more tracking data, you will be able to analyse what activity, lifestyle and food choices made you a worse response in your blood sugar.
