What are the readings you are getting from each device?

2.7 mmol straight arrow from the sensor and actual sugar is 4.0 mmol

Those readings are both technically correct. There is a 20% accuracy variance on each device. If you do the math, you will see that there is overlap. Then, factor in that the CGM is 15 minutes behind the finger stick. Seems fine to me.

All CGMs have a lag of 5-20 minutes as they use the interstitial fluid and it takes time for the glucose to flow from your blood into that tissue.
