Did my fasting bloods today and got a reading of 15.6... WOW usually bit less that 10. I had a serious panic then my smart wife asked...
" Have you washed your hands after cutting up the melon?"
I had not. Wash and retest. Down to 9.6.
Remember to wash before test
 
I didn't even know it was possible to cut up a melon without tasting a few pieces. Very impressed by taking a fasting reading after cutting up a melon!
 
I think most of us will have made that mistake at some point. We live and learn.
 
Live and learn indeed! Easily done
