is the minimed 670g system waterproof?

Should my sensor readings always match the readings on my blood glucose meter?
It is important to note that sensor glucose readings are taken from your interstitial fluid (fluid surrounding the cells in your tissue) whereas fingerstick tests are taken directly from your blood. There is a natural lag between glucose levels in the interstitial fluid and glucose levels in the blood. Therefore, it's normal, and should be expected, for your sensor glucose readings and blood glucose readings to be different - but for the most part they should be close.
