Message: <blockquote data-quote="witan" data-source="post: 45262" data-attributes="member: 12474">Hi ChocoholicAt below freezing most liquid crysal displays stop working - even if a number is displayed on the meter it won't change. But the test strips are even more sensitive to temperature than your meter, and I would gues that most meters have a temperature sensor that would stop them comming on (or show an error code) if the temperaure was too low, rather than let you get a wrong reading that could lead to errors in medication.The answer must be to keep your meter and test strips in an inside breast pocket, close to your body under the multiple layers. Unfortunately there is no way of getting blood out of cold fingers - so does anyone know of any other suitably warm sites that could be or have been used?Hi HanaI also wonder if walking/exercise at low temperatures is more effective as you are of course burning significant energy just to keep warm?</blockquote>
