If there is any alcohol left on the skin, that will also affect the reading.

OneTouch will give an "error #" to warn of this.

OneTouch and Freestyle use different chemical systems.
The Freestyle will read other ---ose sugars as high. Maltose, etc.

OneTouch is more accurate, but will read high if you use aspirin right before, or have elevated uric acid, or acidosis.
