With which brand?

I use freestyle strips, they come packaged in a nice sealed container
and I use some that are over a year old before I open them - and I
sometiems take many months to go through a set. No problems with accuracy.

Any one else have this experience?

I did a lot of testing to see what was accurate. This meter is my number
one pick. I need something I can rely on. The onyl time it gives a wrong
(too high) reading, is if I use too much blood and flood it.
The lancet device has 4 settings for how much of a prick a person
needs. Me personal correct setting is 2, for forearm use. So as long as
I do that - perfect results.
(I tried other meters - and they are in my view not worth using!)

The only other one that gave reasonably reliable results was the old
dinosaur thing that requires about a pint of blood per reading - fingers
only - and takes a week to tell you the reading - and wastes half the
strips as they shoot out too fast and don’t go back in - so it is no go

for those reasons in my book - but that was the Bayer thing that uses a
circle of test strip things. Ascencia breeze - can’t pay me to use it
any more.

Get a freestyle flash and LEARN your prick setting by experimenting.
It’s a nice meter:-)

Namaste,
