Did you all know that in the Netherlands it isn't advised to wash hands before testing, unless having handled foodstuffs. When I was diagnosed the practice nurse told me to wipe away the first drop and simply use the second. Which is what I do, only wash and retest when I get an unexpected result.
I asked a friend who studies to be a nurse and she was taught the same in school.
Told my practice nurse I often go months before changing lancets and she told me "it isn't advised, but hey, it's your fingers, do what you want!".
