| shiftzor,
I can't help you with the specific issue, however if my memory serves, you were having problems getting enough strips to test as you need so could I suggest you print this post and bring it to your Doctor, especially the part where you wrote "but trying to save strips before I run out". There is no justifiable reason for you running out of strips and having to guess based on how you feel, sometimes I have felt low but tested high.
