ISIG and Calibration Factor: Using my Sensor Raw Data as part of Blood Sugar Management:

@Nickyghaleb

I’m not sure if any of you use your calibration factor for anything, but I calculate mine in order to see what’s happening in the interstitial fluid alongside what’s happening in the blood.

I understand the basis your idea, but how are you calculating your CF from your BG reading every time? Maybe I am missing something.

I do something that might be similar. Not sure if this is the same thing you are talking about.

I know that my CGM is always behind my BG number. So if my CGM is 30 points higher than my BG number, I know I am dropping more rapidly than if my CGM is only 10 points higher.

Is that at all the same thing you are referring to?

How do you get a CF from your CGM reading?
