Hi! I just got some Novamax ketone test strips for the first time. It says to discard three months after opening. Has anyone used these test strips past the three month expiration date and found accurate/close to accurate results? Or should I just trash them after the three months? Thanks in advance.

Hi @music_rox84120 , I don’t have experience with expired blood ketone strips. But we have used expired glucose test strips that were about 6-9 months past expiration, given by friends who had changed meters. When we tested them they were right on the money, within the regular noise parameter of the measurement.
From what our CDE told us, the environmental conditions they are subject to counts for a lot. If they were exposed to extreme conditions they may not age as well.
