Hi and welcome @emma_and, Personally I have not tried them, but I have seen Dia-wipes mentioned a few times on here. I think you can get them from Amazon. I personally have no issues using liquid soap and water, and the main thing to remember with alcohol based wipes, is they only disinfect, they don't actually cleanse contaminants like sugar, and hence possible false BG readings, but either way, from memory, the dia-wipes have had positive feedback I think.

I must admit...I've not heard this before...I always use liquid soap and have never used any kind of wipe...perhaps try a comparison to see if it makes any difference if you're worried.
