I used to think I was some kind of professor boffin with the pipette and the way the test tube got hot with the reagent tablet. The results meant frankly nothing to me, orange meant my blood sugar had been high sometime in the previous 5+ hours and blue could mean I was hypo or anything in between.I used to use different colour felt tip pens to write the results in my log book so it looked as if I hadn't filled them in the night before clinic. I remember one doctor asking me if the different colours meant anything in terms of results and I said it depended which room I was in and which pen was to hand when I wrote the result down. He must have seen right through me! The ability to fudge the results was infinite. I used tap water instead of urine to get a negative result if my Mum ever challenged me about my control.
