To solve my dilemma, I am taking a drink of water to keep on bedside cabinet, and using that to wet a piece of kitchen towel to wipe finger ready for stabbing. What I have noticed is that if I test before stepping out of bed I am seeing lower figures, but the numbers rise until I eat breakfast. This will mean I need to rethink my fasting until 11:00 regime. More answers than questions.

Thank you all for your input. Most helpful, and enlightening.

In or out of bed levels are changing all the time A monitor reading is only an indication of what your levels are at that precise moment by the time you read the result it will have already changed even if you are still in bed

I guess that would depend on what one has been up to in the night.

We are trying to get pregnant at the moment so I'm always concerned with what could potentially be on my hands before taking my fasting BGL. Your comment really resonated with me and made me belly chuckle so loud that my doggie woke up with a start!
