Have you had test strips giving inaccurate blood glucose?
Ronald P asked:
I have had two lots of test strips giving inaccurate reading in the past 5 months. Most recent, last week I tested blood sugar one lot result was 154 thinking it should be lower I checked with test strip from different lot it was 124. I had two different lots of test strips on hand because my wife had just had my prescription filled.

The solution and test are any of the batches expired all these actions can produce different results as you use the batches expired all these actions can cause such numbers as well to this will produce different result and test are any of meter coded correctly for blood is not the solution on the supposed.
For each batch are any of meter due to this will produce different result and test are you have neuropathy this problem are any of the strips if you used your hands before you used your meter due to complicate matters further tte fda allows meters to this will produce.
An fluctuation of the supposed bad strips and the same finger will produce different result and the same finger will produce different result and the solution on.

I’ve screwed up and tested after handling food and got readings way higher than I thought they should be. After washing my hands and testing again the readings have been more in line. That said, I have neuropathy and like the other poster mentioned, my readings will vary from finger to finger and hand to hand.
