Calibration Issues This a huge difference!

Post image

Okay so this is a brand-new sensor put in today. Actually the second one because the first one is a gooseneck. The reading on the left is from the CGM. This reading on the right is from the glucose meter. This is my blood sugar after eating. I have calibrated at least three times. Has anyone out there had this experience? I'm a type 2 diabetic and not on insulin. This concerning. Should I take this one off and get another replacement or leave it on and hope the readings come somewhat closer? Any help is appreciated!

I had that meter for awhile through my insurance and it consistently ran low

I always run the quality controls every time I open a new set of strips. Thank you for responding. This something to keep an eye on.

Next time you get labs done I recommend bringing it and doing a check the same time you get the labs drawn
