| How accurate are expired blood glucose strips?
I'm curious to know how accurate blood glucose strips that have passed the expiration date are. I just found three vials of One Touch strips that expired in January 2001. I tried one and it showed a reading of 69 mg/dL while an unexpired strip showed a reading of 72 mg/dL. While I know one test isn't enough to reach any decisions, it has made me curious enough to try a few more to see what happens. If I continue to get readings that are close to those of unexpired strips, will it be safe to conclude that they are accurate within reason?
