Everyone check your test strips.

I know some people who use these things, and rely on them to be accurate. In an unstable diabetic this could be a life or death thing. Whoever is the source these things need to be shot....twice.

I switched to Ascencia a few months back. More accurate for me, I think.

It is a very important alert. People do rely on these tests. Type II not as vital as Insulin dependants.

This makes the ban on bringing meds and supplies from Canada look even stupider.
You don't need to purchase counterfeits in Canada, you can buy them in the USA!

My son loves FreeStyle. Really small, takes a small amount of blood, and has a light in it.

I switched over to LifeStyle for all my testing -- but they use the same strips as One Touch so I'll double check.

There is the FreeStyle and then there is the FreeStyle Flash.
If you haven't seen the light yet, odds are you have the regular FreeStyle. LOL
Right above the place where you insert the strip is a button with an emblem on it which means the light.

The link takes you to a picture where you can see the Flash.

I definitely have the flash -- 2 of 'em (itt bitty little guys). I use one for when I travel for business and another that my wife carries when she travels in case I forget mine.
I LOVE them.
