Difference between the two is a CGM takes the reading from interstitial fluid while a finger stick test uses a blood sample. If the alarm goes of for low blood sugar . Libre advises you to do a finger stick prior to an intervention. My alarm often goes off showing a 69. My finger stick shows above 80. Discuss with your endocrinologist. Other than the convenience of not doing a finger stick I'm not sure this new gadget is all that helpful . I have experienced difficulty keeping the device on my arm with it coming loose in the shower and in our pool. Did find an an adhesive patch that goes over the Libre that has helped. It even has an opening for the "eye" on the sensor. Good luck. I'm 50 years a diabetic. It's been a challenge..
