But the diabetic educator said not to because it will dry your fingers. I just was my hands. When you use alcohol swab on finger for bg test you get an inaaurate reading because the alcohol dilutes the blood sample. I wash my hands and dry them now. OK for injections.

When I first was diagnosed, I also used alcohol swabs prior to a BG test but found that it was hard to get a drop of blood as it would mix with the alcohol and disperse on my skin so I stopped using them for that purpose. > Does anyone wipe their injection site with alcohol before injecting > Byetta?

If you use an alcohol wipe you will have a sting when you inject. However, alcohol wipes are good when you don't have soap and water. Soap and water is what the Byetta website recommends.
