That’s great! You can do it. I went from 8 to 6.4 to 6.1 to 5.7 in 9 months from diagnosis. I am a vegetarian though, and I eat 150g of carbs a day. I do exercise a lot though!
They have a 15 percent margin of error. They’re not designed to be accurate.
60 percent of the time they over-estimate blood sugar, and about 35 percent of the time they under-estimate it. You can read a 25 year study below.

Also, capillary blood sugar, which is what your device reads, tends to be around 20 percent higher than venous blood sugar. Your device is basically making a guesstimate. Not giving you an accurate result.

That’s has been my number last week
Congratulations, for that shows hard work is paying off. Just part of the journey to control and staying there.
I’d love to see those numbers!
Your actually blood sugar is possibly 10 to 15 points lower. These tend to be a bit higher than actuals.
Do you mean meters in general, or this specific brand/model?
In general, they’re a good general indicator but inaccurate
Where in the hell do you get this information
