Although blood and interstitial fluids are similar, glucose concentration is
higher in your blood. Calibration allows alignment between your G6
readings and meter values.
When you calibrate, you take a fingerstick measurement from your meter
then enter the value into your receiver or smart device. The G6 uses that
value to verify the sensor reading is on track.
