With the last batch I got (3 boxes), I began storing them in the refrigerator. I was talking to a guy on the help desk yesterday - on a totally different subject - and he told me he had gotten several calls from users that seem to have better accuracy if they are stored cool.
He did, however, caution me to let them warm up before insertion. Problems with condensation, he explained. I have done that anyway - when I insert one, I take one out of the fridge and put it in my supply cabinet.
I do know that I had a box that was expired, and was kept in the supply cabinet the whole time - and at least half of them weren't worth a ****.
Good luck with yours!! It is truly the coolest technology I have ever used - I've had really good luck - I uploaded last night and saw on the "sensor daily overlay" report that over the past week my MAD% (mean average difference - the difference between BG and SG (sensor glucose)) was 7.5!! Yahoo!!
