I used to do that too, but you do need to wash your hands before taking reading.
Bear in mind too that most meters are only accurate to +/- 15%Well unless you've touched something sugary I don't see how just lying in a presumably clean bed affects readings. I do loads of finger pricks without washing hands! (And my skin is irritated from washing them so much just for the number of times I do need to clean them before testing - I couldn't imagine washing them any more frequently!)

No problem I acctually don’t know what type I have I had a double lung transplant and the doctors told me I had diabetes due to the medication I have to take. Though I am insulin dependent.
Been off grid for a couple of days helping my son and his wife settle into their new home. BG readings have been very weird I hope due to their eccentric/exotic handwash. Was 5.1 yesterday but since some meals have seen me in 6s I have refused to test today and although I have entered all readings on MySugr I will delete them all and hope my June HbA1C has not been too badly impacted.
This has made me realise how reliant I am on homemade food as there is very little off the shelf I will eat when travelling or staying with other people. Proper wake up call for ever leaving my own homeStill have a 3/3.5 hr journey home and may unwittingly ended up fasting and stewing in my own juices re seeing numbers in 6s
Lol don’t worry about it I didn’t even know which type I was until today when @JohnEGreen told me I was acctually type 3EAha, despite education and being aware there are quite a few types, I still fell back on the old “either 1 or 2 “ Wow double lung transplant- ok now I am a little wiser.
Goodnight johnGoodnight @karen8967
Morning all. Nice bright sky after dramatic storm in the night. 4.7 for me and off to the gym for the first time in a while.
Morning people, did I jeopardise my own little run of 5’s with a magnum last night. I went to bed with a 6.8 and woke up with a6.2 - but also - intermittent abdominal pains yesterday are now proper tummy ache - like a bug.
I could weep! I went to bed 6.2 and woke this morning 7.4. Not a happy number, not a happy bunny!
What to do?
Good to see @Goonergal @flexi06 @DJC3 all of you up nice and early and doing splendidly.
Have a good Sunday all
