[QUOTE="TTTE, post: 1834845, member: 468551"] All this discussion about rest strip storage etc has me worried. I expect like most of you I have a small wallet that my BG monitor, strips, Lancet and record book etc all live in. I take this with me to work so it goes from my room to an air conditioned car where it stays until I test during the day and then at end of shift it goes back to my room. This subjects it to a lot of temperature changes throughout the day. Then once a month I commute home to Malta. I only have a hand luggage bag and my kit goes in that. Sometimes the cast of the Muppets, sorry airport security ask me what it is, but have always always always accepted what I tell them, I have never been asked to demonstrate it. At home temperatures vary wildly between highs in summer of about 3°c to lows of -17°c in winter, sorry that's SE London where I work[emoji16]. Malta varies between 12°c in winter to 30+°c in summer. Generally my kit stays in the dining room where it is pretty cool, but if we go out tgen again it is subject to wildly varying temperatures. I just assumed that incidental high readings were down to me being new to being diabetic and I'm still learning to get to grips with the condition [/QUOTE]
