Re: Re: Question re expired strips

[Guest guest]

Okay...I have three phials of strips that expire end of Febr.

Can I use them for at least a month afterwards? Seems a shame to throw them

out esp since i am pretty sure i have to pay for them now...no longer with

HMO.

If they expire does that mean they do not work at all any more, or just that

their accuracy might be off a bit. I could handle that...i just need to know

roughly where i am...is better than not at all.

I found out through LifeScan that expired strips aren't guaranteed to give

accurate readings...they are good til the end of the month on the container

date, say Febr would be end of Febr. O well...so gotta throw em out...seems

a shame when so many can't even afford the dang things. I got one more

refill i think tho, so that is good.

I could probably use em to get a rough idea...but as far as real accurate,

probably not.

Are they prestige strips, because I can use them?
