Proper preparation of the testing site, such as cleansing the skin with an antiseptic solution, ensures that the blood sample is not contaminated with external substances like dirt or oils. Failure to adequately prepare the site can lead to inaccurate glucose readings. Other options such as excessive squeezing of the finger can affect the blood composition and provide falsely elevated or lowered results.
