I don't know, Dexcom G7 is accurate enough. I do random tests from finger and it's about there a bit off but close. The previous versions were wildly off if you're having a hyperglycemia, and also G7 doesn't peak as high as measured from a finger. But in that level you already have ketones in your blood, and insulin resistance, and a bit extra insulin from the pump will not drop you to hypo.

Dexcom G7 has had inaccuracies for me. A standardized product meets non-standardized living beings, I guess.
Yeah. That's why my doctor lets her patients to test with different CGMs. They work differently with different people. For me Dexcom has always been best, but my doctor uses Libre because that suits her better.
