Glucose concentrations in different sequential drops of blood

	First drop	Second drop	Control
Not washing hands (n = 123)	8.9 (6.4–12.6)	8.9 (6.5–12.2)	8.6 (6.1–12.2)
Washing hands (n = 123)	8.5 (6.3–12.2)	8.7 (5.9–12.2)	8.6 (6.1–12.2)
Finger exposed to fruit, no washing (n = 122)	15.0 (10.5–21.7)	8.9 (6.5–12.5)	8.9 (6.4–12.2)
After washing the fruit-exposed finger (n = 121)	8.4 (6.3–11.9)	8.3 (6.4–12.0)	8.5 (6.2–12.0)
Pressure 40 mmHg (n = 102)	8.4 (6.1–11.9)	8.2 (5.5–11.4)*	8.5 (6.2–12.0)
Pressure 240 mmHg (n = 102)	8.3 (6.1–11.6)	8.4 (5.9–11.1)**	8.5 (6.2–12.0)

Data are median (interquartile range). Glucose is in mmol/L.
