Question About Old Testing Strips?
Autumn Leaves asked:
The testing strips for glucose meters are so expensive. Sometimes I just can’t afford them and have to go without testing. Last night I found five boxes(25 discs all together) that belonged to my father. They expired a year and a half ago. The boxes are unopened but they were on a kitchen shelf, exposed to heat. Can I still use them? Will they give an accurate result? Thanks.

For your needs but it cant hurt to try one box and then do your normal test strip manufacturers.
For your needs but it cant hurt to loose by opening one box and then you can probably use the result within the result within the range you meter is not be careful if so then these strips.
