hand cream, any number of other things can cause the numbers to be higher. So can alcohol swabs.
But whether you are diabetic or not, the 113 would be a bit worrisome to me. It says you are not metabolizing like you should be doing.
go low carb for the rest of your life! Start exercising more, like every day. Then you won't have to worrry about getting like me any sooner than is necessary!!
Enjoy your life and take care of your bod, we are only allotted one!!!
No, it's not strange. Actually, before testing of blood, you should always wash your hands to prevent getting an incorrect result. There are many foods and daily products that can (and do) cause a reaction like this.
I'm glad to hear that you're not diabetic though. You certainly don't want that.
did you us an alcohol prep on your skin. if the sight had traces of alcohol it would be higher. always wash your hands and wipe the first sample or drop of blood with a clean cloth then take a sample. GOOD LUCK
Hey David G ! Thanks ! You just explained my high readings. I didn't know that! Let's hear it for Yahoo Answers!
We had to call 911 once becuae my husband had a low sugar attack. When the ems came they checked his sugar and it was 140. THey started looking around the house for drugs becuase he was acting so strange. Before the ems came he was smashing a pop can on the counter and smashing a candy bar trying to get them open and in his mouth. The EMS didn't wash his hands before they checked his B.S. which is why it was so high. After they washed them....his sugar was 20!!! ALwasy wash your hands first.
