[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 913853, member: 43498"] Hi folks I haven't tested my BG for so long that my test strips have passed their expiry date (oops!). I will need to get a new script for them, and this could take up to a week. In the meantime, I am wondering if I should rely on the readings from these expired test strips or not. I have test strips that expired in March 2015 and December 2014 respectively. I just tested my BG using a December 2014 expired strip and got the result of 6.7, which seems fine (I had a snack about an hour ago). Honestly I was expecting it to be higher, since I have let things go a bit lately. I'm using a CareSens II meter, if that's any help. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
