Fluctuating readings

My blood test meter gave me a higher than usual reading today.

I have type 2 and was diagnosed in January 2015. I control it with a keto diet. I have taken to checking my blood every morning since I moved to France and the health service here provides me with a meter. I am usually between 4.6 and 5.7

This morning it was 6.3 but for no obvious reason. I retested...7.5! What? Tested again 5.6. What is going on here? Is my meter not working or do other people get such wild fluctuations in readings?
Thanks

The usual reason for fluctuations in a short time period is something on your finger that contaminated the blood.
