>Such should be done only with great care, as a false low reading can harm and even kill the patient (who eats a high-sugar-content item while glucose in the blood is, in fact, not low).
I've been a type I diabetics for over 25 years and I don't quite understand this one. Low blood sugar is an immediate life or death situation, but high blood sugar killing people? Just how high was it and for how long?
As someone that has a CGM I still calibrate it by using a blood test every couple of days because the CGM sensors can wander on accuracy.
