[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1470018, member: 338121"] Hi [USER=163050]@patchworks101[/USER] I don't use the metre you name, I have an AccuChek Aviva Expert, but I do sometimes seem to get 'dodgy boxes' where lots will give 'strip error'. Does that metre have a battery you replace? When mine is coming up to needing the battery replacing, the frequency of errors seems to increase a lot. The age of the metre could be a factor, also have the strips been anywhere particularly hot or cold? Mine seem to be extremely picky. Over the winter, it's been quite cold where I am, and I have thrown so many away it is not even funny. Hope you get a more 'expert' answer, and if not that gives you something to chew on anyway :) [/QUOTE]
