These systems both certainly are very good but just a note of reminder that they are certified to be no more than around 9% different than an actual blood sugar so they will never be exactly the same as a blood draw. and they may lag behind an actual blood sugar by as much as 15 minutes, so if your blood sugar is changing rapidly, there will be more of a difference until the sensor catches up.

This may be a subjective question but I was wondering from those who have used either product or both. Is there any reality to more accurate blood sugars with Dexcom or What are your thoughts?
