[Diabetes-talk] tinkering with test strips

[Jude DaShiell]

The only way I can get readings is by using the stylus on these strips.  
I got two readings today for the first time ever.  One of the readings 
that failed yesterday was the one on which I didn't use the stylus on 
the test strip.  This won't be the first time diabetics got defective 
test strips, doing a google search for diabetes test strip problem shows 
more than one F.D.A. recall.

Remember, warm, clean hands, milk the finger before and perhaps after sticking, try and keep the finger in a still position when attempting to sample with the strip. Even the old pro's on the list have their bad days. However, practice increases success.
