in reality! just make sure there's no cake icing on your fingertips.
hi there,
when i was first dx'ed with type one about 7 years ago, i did the whole routine: wash hands, alcohol, etc.
Then: I realized if I were going to test the recommended 8 times a day, this was going to be time consuming, so I dropped the alcohol; finally i dropped the hand washing.
honestly, I'm getting the same numbers. I think, practically, the whole hand washing thing is a little OTT.
Just my 2 cents.
oh and: meters can actually fluctute 20 points, regardless of your OCD hand washing practices. its scary once you realize that!
