[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2014601, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=502413]@Sugar High[/USER] I have never used alcohol to wash/wipe the area before testing, generally never get a chance to as on the move and doing up to 8 tests a day, I am hygienic and wash hands regularly, in over 7 years there's never been a problem. Although now I mainly use a continuous glucose monitor I still have to calibrate with meter tests. I would only use an alcohol wipe to change my sensor and allow the area to dry before application. Your readings will always be different too as there's a variance in readings from any meter, so your test isn't a conclusive way of checking this. [/QUOTE]
