comes up with err and I know that the strip has gotten wet. I use the
one touch mini.

On a personal note, if I gave thought to everything I do about diabetes,
I wont be Loretta with diabetes, I will be a diabetic defining myself by
the disease. sometimes there is just overkill imo

I sometimes sense this on this group also, especially by frequent posters, however, some of us are newer at this than others and I did not, repeat, 'did not' receive much help here in Canada with testing etc. I was given the meter and strips by a pharmacist and shown how to use them. After that I was on my own because the health system failed. The diabetes nurse I was to have seen was transferred with no one to replace her. I have had to learn/make judgments from what I read on this list. Some of it is helpful and some is not,imo
Sorry if I overkilled you.
