[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 54624, member: 7788"] Hi Emptying my kitchen cupboard last week I came accross an old box of BM 1-44 blood test strips- unopened! I didn't know I'd kept them, but it was a real blast from the past and I couldn't wait to try them. I compared the test to one on my meter and the result was pretty close, colour chart reading about 9, browny green rectangle with blue rectangle below. The expiry date was May 2001! When I was diagnosed in '89 I relied on these, didn't get a meter till bout '91 and it was on loan from the hospital, and in mobile phone terms,it was a brick! Does anyone else have fond memories of ancient and antique diabetes equipment? I have to say that at the time of being forced to switch to a meter, when the 1-44s were discontinued, I resented it, as I trusted the strips and found it hard to feel that way about the meters-though I am an old stick in the mud, I still dislike pens, and prefer to use syringes. Still glad I wasn't diagnosed in the times of glass syringes though, so I'm not totally against advancements in technology! Jus [/QUOTE]
