[QUOTE="MimT, post: 2687396, member: 585741"] Thanks. I'll try that. I've been shaking my hands beforehand to try to get the blood flowing, but not always using warm water to wash them. I think the impact can be to decrease the reading as often as increasing it, or there's a good chance there's no impact. I've just found a paper that suggests it's okay to squeeze gently - as long as you don't apply too much pressure.
