I have type 2 diabetes and recently have been checking my glucose levels. I get different readings if I check from my left hand finger then immediately from my right hand!
This morning left was 9.4 and right was 8.1. Is this usual?

Before testing your blood sugars, are your hands cold? If your hands are cool/cold, the temps. can have an effect on how much blood you can get to be used for the blood test's sample at home.
Plus anything on your hands can affect a reading so washing first is a good idea.
