As the title suggests, I would like to do some testing mainly 2 hours after meals, found my accu chek performa nano and test strips expired June 2020 .
I’m guessing there not safe to use, but if I did would they over or under read would I have to add or subtract a figure to get an accurate reading.
My original meter over 7 years ago was a Nano which I used for about a year. I recently resurrected it after my current Contour Next mysteriously went walk about. and I found some well expired Accu Chek strips. I used these as a last resort while in the process of replacing the Contour, then also tried both side by side for a few days out of curiosity as the Nano was giving me very similar figures to those from my Contour . To say the least I was more than slightly gobsmacked, so it may be worth a try to see how using your old strips might compare with your recent readings, but I wouldn't necessarily rely on them!
Hi all just parted with £20 to buy some new strips results not much difference the old strips were over reading by 0.1 mmol
But least I can be certain now
