Maybe, but my readings have coincided with my A1C numbers.

FreeStyle Libre.

Hello,
In a lot of ways the Dexcom system is better than the Freestyle. Right now I
am using the freestyle system because it is easier to get and a whole lot
cheaper than Dexcom. The Dexcom systems apps are a bit more accessible and
it is easier to share your results with your doctor. The application of the
Freestyle is a lot easier than the Dexcom. The dexcom is also a bit more
accurate than the Freestyle. Readings on the Freestyle seem to be a bit more
off at the upper and lower ends.
