Glucose test strips in refrigerator?

Filed Under Blood Glucose Strips 

xxxcerealfordinnerxxx asked:


Does anyone know if it’s okay to keep my diabetic blood glucose test strips in the refriegerator? Or is that too cold for them? I think it was too hot for some other ones I had to be out and they got damaged. It is very hot in California right now. It’s 110 degrees today! I’m worried about keeping them out.

    wow that is interesting topic, you have to realize that many of these strips have tiny chips and I don’t think it is a good idea to do so, as long as you keep it in its airtight bottle, i think you will do fine.
