Which bit are you querying -the difference between 10.8 and 5.7/5.6? Given you said you washed your hands there may well have been some residue on your fingers that affected it and washing your hands cleared that off.
If you mean between the 5.6 and 6.3 , well meters are supposed to be within 15% accuracy to be considered accurate, and those two numbers are close enough, also blood sugars probably do shuffle slightly anyways, they wont just stay in a completely flat line
