from one location to another, allow 20 minutes for the meter
to adjust to the temperature of that new location before
performing a blood glucose test. The products have been de-

and 113°F.

the expiration date printed on the bottle label and carton has
passed or if it has been six months (180 days) since you fi rst
opened the bottle. It will help to write the six month discard
date on the label in the area provided when you fi rst open the
test strips or control solution.
