I thought I would ask here as the pharmacy is shut today.
Yesterday morning was my first test. Worked perfectly. Last night I tried before bed time and it didn't work. Tried again this morning and still nothing.
The monitor is an Accu Check performa. It switches on and accepts the strip. Once the 'waiting for blood' indicator flashes I put blood on it. But it just keeps flashing. I have tried putting more blood on but nothing changes. The same indicator flashes and eventually it switches off.
Is there any reason for this? Have I done something wrong? Is there something I can check?
Thanks
