[QUOTE="iHs, post: 343391, member: 8799"] Unfortunately... all bg meters will most likely malfunction in very cold weather spells and the same is for very hot weather as well. In icey cold weather temps - try to keep the meter close to the body if you can ( I use an Accu chek Combo bg meter which I keep under my jumper and as a backup I also have a small Accu chek Aviva Nano which is tiny enough to slide inside my bra. For the males to use - Little Hotties are excellent in keeping both meter and hands warm.... nothing is worse than having freezing cold hands and trying to prick your fingertip for a drop of blood that wont come because of the cold.... In hot weather best to keep bg meter away from direct heat or if need be get a Frio bag or put meter in a plastic bag and wrap a cold flannel around it to shield it from soaring temps.. [/QUOTE]
