[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2347397, member: 475037"] Anything on your hands, especially something sweet will influence the reading. So when you have an unexplained high, it's always best to wash your hands then test again. Unfortunately we are bound to rely on these devices, but there can be errors. It can be frustrating. Wait until you wake up to an alert that says you are super low and you are half awake so you eat something without wondering why it hadn't alerted you before you got so low, and test again 15 minutes later to find you have now skyrocketed. Compression low, never was truly a low...............it can happen when you lay on your sensor. But when you are half awake, you don't always think logically. Or even this and I know better, the next morning after applying a new sensor the night before, I look at my reading and it says I'm a 10, I have bad DP sometimes so I gave myself a correction dose and then I realized, gee it's a new sensor, I haven't checked it's accuracy yet. Do a finger prick and I'm really 6.8, but now I have to eat something to make up for the insulin I took. Sigh, things happen................ [/QUOTE]
