It shouldn't effect the result as the blood is drawn up under a protective sleeve.

I touch it sometimes and it doesn't seem to affect my blood sugar result!
If you're worried just make sure you wash your hands first or try pick it up with something on your hands like your shirt sleeve, then theres so finger print of anything and oyu can wipe it.

Though I don't think they'd be fiddly to get out if it mattered to touch it! :)
