Make sure it's the Aviva Plus test strips. . . Make sure your battery is working. . . If this is not the problem you can always call the 1-800 number for Accu-Chek so they can help you reset your meter.. .. Good luck.

I can only respond in relation to Prodigy strips. When your blood sugar is extremely high, I find them not as accurate, but from 250 and below they read within 1 to 5 points as the Prodigy strips. I really like the little meter that fits on top of the canister of strips, so handy for your purse.

I have bought One Touch test strips. The first time I got strips that were close to end date. I wrote to the store and they exchanged one box, which worked for me as I only test daily. That was choosing the lowest possible price. I just bought again, paid a little more, bought from a Diabetic Supply Co. and my dates are next year. That is how I will proceed in the future, pay a little more than the bottom price and try to get them from an existing business. But the first guys took my return and gave me good dates. They treated me great.

There is a Control Solution that is mentioned in the booklet manual that comes with it to test the unit to make sure it is working but it does not come with it. Also, from what I have read about the other True test glucose unites online, you can get the control Solution for free by visiting their website and they will send it to you. I have not tried this however.

the expiration date is the date located on the box that lets you know when the strips will become in-effective with its reading. when a strip is past its expiration date the reading can be off sufficiently which is not good for someone requiring a proper reading of their blood sugar level. I was told that you can go up to 4 months after the expiration date if you keep the strips in a cool place and prefereably still wrapped up in its foil covering. Hope this help in some way

No, blood glucose test strips are brand specific True test strips are for True Result or True2go meters from Nipro Diagnostics, FreeStyle meters require FreeStyle branded test strips from Abbott labs, need to verify which meter you have to get correct strips there are FreeStyle and FreeStyle Lite strips and they don't all work with every meter.

Just pay attention to when to put your drop of blood on the meter. It will indicate by showing a drop next to the picture of the strip. Then in 5 secs it will show you how high your blood sugar level is. My husband's is suppose to be under 140 and the doctor wants mine to be under 120. You see if it is or gets too high you need to tell your doctor and he or she would probably put you on meds. This way you can live longer.

No- you need to use the specific test strips-ACCU-CHEK Aviva Plus 50 test strips. I think each machine is a little different. I LOVE this meter- so well worth the investment.

It works with the accu-check device on given below link http://www.amazon.com/ACCU-CHEK-Aviva-Blood-Glucose-Meter/dp/B001A67WH2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366924497&sr=8-2&keywords=accu-chek+aviva

These strips work on the Accu-Chek Aviva,HOWEVER ,after I received the strips, I found there was no control in the box. I called the company and they have changed their format. They will send you a black key ,that will work for ALL measuring Aviva Accu Chek. I received it three days after my phone call. Very quick,they were very polite...They had a high volume calling day...

It doesn't matter where you get the drop of blood from. That's completely up to you. Once you have the drop you just touch the end of the strip into the blood drop. The device counts down then gives you the reading. I'm doing ketone and glucose twice a day and it works great. Just insert the strip (glucose or ketone) in the device (same device does glucose and ketone) then get the blood drop then touch the strip to the drop, wait a few seconds until the countdown stops and gives your reading, then pull that strip out (if you're measuring both glucose and ketones like me) stick the other strip in and touch it to the same blood drop and get the measurement of the other substance. When you insert the strip make sure the unit acknowledges it (it says ketone or glucose depend on which strip you put in the unit). It acknowledges 95% of the time. If it doesn't pull it out and reinsert and it has always acknowledged the second time. I haven't lost a single strip using this method and I've been through way more than a hundred of glucose and ketone strip.

Each time you test it's vitally important to insert the test strip "all the way" into the meter BEFORE adding the blood drop to the strip, otherwise (if the strip isn't fully inserted, it won't be properly read by the meter) & won't show a reading on the view screen. Another reason may be the battery needs changed. Hope this helps.

It's been a while since I've used them (I was only a pre-diabetic and dodged the bullet), but as I recall they were dated about a year or so forward. They were long gone before they expired - and that was testing only once a day for the last couple of months. BTW, did you check the previous Q&As;? I think this question was asked before.

Only the company selling you the test strips can give you the exp date. I had some out of date ones sent to me once and they took care of it right away. I recommend buying them from "shop4diabetics" or "Diabetes Health Supplies" I have ordered from these companies in October and December and received very good dates of exp.

You can buy a Relion Glucometer that has a lancet device very cheaply. The lancets for Relion are the cheapest I have found. They work with many meters also. I use mine with a Bayer Contour and Contour Next. I just switched to a new meter-Freestyle freedom lite. Because of my insurance. It uses less blood. The lancets from Relion work with this device as well.

The expiration date on the ACC-CHECK ACTIVE test strips means, strips have reached their threshold and may not give you correct or accurate results. You need to buy new strips to confirm the accurracy of your test.

This Meter takes a certain Test strip. They list them here on Amazon . The Lancets you can see here http://www.amazon.com/Accu-Chek-Softclix-Lancets-100-ea/dp/B0000532GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1389834786&sr;=8-1&keywords;=accu+chek+compact+Lancets....they are cheap and work well.I stopped using this Meter due to the Test strips being hard to find and expensive, plus the dates run out and you can not use them in the Meter anymore. You can buy a box and before you can use them all they expire and the Meter will not allow use of them. Just so you know.
