  • Page 26: Different And Accurate

    Different and Accurate Why are glucose readings different? Rather than taking glucose readings from your blood, CGM sensor readings are taken from interstitial fluid, a thin layer of fluid that surrounds the tissue cells below your skin. As carbohydrates are digested, glucose enters your bloodstream before they are absorbed into the interstitial fluid.
  • Page 27 Understanding the lag Because glucose enters the bloodstream first, blood glucose readings lead sensor glucose readings. Eventually, sensor glucose readings catch up to blood glucose readings just like the back of a train following the front of a train. Instead of focusing only on a single moment in time, CGM gives you a more complete picture of where your glucose is going, and where your glucose has been, so you can make more informed treatment decisions.
