I never thought insurance would pay for the wipes!

And if they don't a box of 100 seperately wrapped wipes are less than $2.00

at walmart and most grocery stores store brands are $1.99. For home we have a

jar of cotton balls and a bottle of rubbing alcohol from the Dollar tree

(again $2.00 total cost) and they will last forever. We will use the wipes only

for trips away from home...

I understand if you use the alcohol wipes, you run a much higher BG lever

(artificially high " I just wash my hands or my forearms as this is where I

usualy test. Marilyn

Keri,

Just curious, why do you use the wipes. I was told that alcohol can skew

the results and just to wash my hands with soap and water.

I answered this one already but I guess you missed it. I use alcohol wipes

to clean the area where I give my son his insulin injections.

I don't use the alcohol strips my self. I wash my hands with an

antibacterial soap so I treally don't feel I need the alcohol strips
