I want to buy 50 strips of Accu-Chek Active blood glucose test strips. I check my sugar levels only once every 2 months. How do I ensure that my strips last?
Check the expiry date as soon as you receive the pack and only use strips within that date. Keep them in the original bottle, close the cap tightly after each use, and store in a cool, dry place away from heat or moisture. Since you test only once every two months, a 50‑strip pack may expire before you finish it, so buying a smaller pack could be better. Also, ask your doctor if your testing schedule is right for your diabetes care.
