[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2549306, member: 155453"] I had similar problems when I first started testing, lots of wasted strips due to error messages. I found that if I tried to put a blob of blood onto the strip, more often than not it would result in a ruined test. But if I treated my meter like the little vampire it is by just offering the test strip up to the blood and letting it sip the blood until its had enough, I could usually get a successful reading. As for the screen being sensitive, check that the battery is secure and making a good connection with the contacts. [/QUOTE]
