[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2286486, member: 480869"] Timing is crucial to make sense of a fingerprick. Fasting or at least 90 -120 mins after eating are the timings used with reference ranges to compare against. If it is neither of these then it’s pointless pretty much. And any fingerprint test is just that one test. Do it a few times under different conditions to see a trend. And if it is still concerning get it checked properly to be sure and safe.

They share genetics and often eating and lifestyle habits [/QUOTE]
