Best to get in touch with the customer care line and see if they will send a replacement meter ,they usually want to keep your custom so that you buy the strips etc

Just give the company a ring they will either sort the problem or replace the meter foc.

@wiserkurtious you're type 1 so if bayer can't sort you out, go to your GP/Diabetes clinic and they will provide you with a tester and strips if required.
