Before I get out of bed, preferably immediately after waking.
Then again before breakfast.
There is usually a significant difference between the two readings, so I think it is important to be consistent.
Most of you keep your testing stuff in the bedroom?
Do you all test st the same time everyday? I don't see how that's possible when I'm at work I'll test at 5.30am but days I don't work I'll test whenever I get up.
Did she wash her hands?I get out of bed on waking go to bathroom wash my hands then back to bedroom and test.
This morning I then went down stairs and tested my supposed non diabetic daughter and found her fbg was far higher than mine at 7.9.
I test before I get out of bed (usually about 7 am). One thing I see from the comments that most people don't wash their hands before testing but in the 3 years I've been testing (I'm T2) I've always wiped the finger I use with alcohol on cotton wool, although my surgery nurse usually uses nothing to wipe my finger. Am I being unnecessarily cautious and could wiping with alcohol affect the readings?
Thanks everyone for your replys. It's interesting to see when people test, although I don't understand why you don't keep your testing kit in one place. I keep my in the kitchen and I don't take it anywhere.
