Something bizarre!
I seem to be getting significantly different blood sugar results when I take blood from a finger on my right hand from when I take it from a finger on my left hand.
The results on my left hand are always lower. Just a coincidence, or could this be that the blood from my left arm/hand is more oxygenated, as it is closer to my heart. It could also be that the BS meter is unreliable. It was one of the cheapest available on Amazon.
Can anyone recommend a really good BS meter?
I also find it easier to take blood from the fingers on my left hand, as the blood erupts more easily and generously when I puncture a finger on my left hand, rather than my right.
