[Diabetes-talk] solo v2 test strips question

[Jude DaShiell]

I had another failed set of readings this morning.  Not enough blood for 
the strip as usual this morning.  Before I tossed the diabetes debris in 
the trash this morning though I used my finger nail accidentally on the 
area inside the V-shaped indentation on the test strip.  I noticed 
something that for me was kind of strange.  The strip felt as if it had a 
polished surface inside that V-shaped area on the strip.  Usually polished 
surface happens because paper is made high gloss by impregnating the paper 
with clay which repels fluids.  If you want to absorb fluid on paper 
though you have to have larger pores on paper and that paper will feel 
rough in that case not smooth like high gloss paper feels.  Braille paper 
surface is high gloss while a piece of typing paper has less gloss on it.  
I'm wondering, could these test strips be defective?
