A member asked:
I found a few boxes of blood glucose strips, that have expired 1 year ago, can i still use the. thanks?

No: The accuracy of old blood glucose strips drops dramatically after expiration. Since this is vital to monitoring your health, you need a product that will accurately reflect what is going on with your blood glucose. Always use unexpired products in the testing of your blood glucose. If you need financial assistance purchasing supplies, there are a variety of organizations willing to help.
