Just a quick question probably a daft one as well but will out of date test strips give you a correct reading or are they just fit for the bin...thanks
 
I personally wouldn't trust them to be accurate though they would still work in all probability.
 
I notice on Ebay they get really cheap when the "use by" date is only a month to go.
 
Hi thanks for the replies they are 5 month out of date and have been stored in a container in drawer ...i haven't been testing for a while as I'm type 2 but recently I've been very tired going to the toilet more and also going to the gym every second day I've not lost any weight ( I'm not hugely over weight ) my readings are 7-8 before dinner and 10-12 2 hours after
