Just wanted to let the woman that have GD know of something I’ve discovered the last couple of days while constantly sanitising my hands due to the covid 19 crisis. Most of these products contain a form of glucose therefore can make your sugar levels much higher than they actually are. I checked my bloods at 11am yesterday after only eating a piece of whole meal toast and my levels where 9.0 (below 6.7 is target range in Australia) I checked it half an hour later after thoroughly washing my hands and it had gone down to 5.6!

Just wanted to let others be aware, you don’t need to stop using hand sanitizer just wash throughly before testing 😀
