[QUOTE="kenneth_SW19, post: 1290028, member: 347017"] Hey QB, Not sure if your problem is fixed as yet but.... Occasionally its a problem with the test strip itself. They are generally pretty good, but dependent on storage conditions and temps etc. you may happen to get a duff reading once every few months if unlucky! Just try a new strip and repeat the test if you are at all worried (or need a genuine SAFETY check). And Mr.Walnut is right, you can get 'Control' solutions to ensure the monitor is correctly calibrated. I did just that a few years back when I was unsure, and the control check 'verified' the monitor okay. As an afterthought, if you wish to re-set your time/date stamp on the monitor; then try checking the destruction (sorry, Instruction) manual for your particular type of Monitor. It appears you are a new joiner (not necessarily a new diabetic?) but hopefully retained the User Manual its casing pocket perhaps. Mine is a (Bayer) 'Ascensia Contour' type; and on this one I [believe] the Memory recall button is pressed multiple times to lead through the Set Up process. Would guess that Time/Date details would be adjustable there - or similar on other models? Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
