13.5 SENSOR INACCURACIES

Inaccuracies are usually related to your sensor only and not your
receiver or transmitter. Your sensor glucose readings are meant to be
used for trending purposes only. Your blood glucose meter and sensor
measure your glucose from two different types of body fluids: blood and
interstitial fluid. Therefore, your readings from your blood glucose meter
readings and sensor may not match.
