The user contacted dario the following day and reported testing her bg since she felt like it was high, however her dario meter gave her a low bg reading.The user also stated that she thinks her strips are expired and has discontinued the user of the dario meter.While on the phone with dario's representative, it was determined that the user received bg readings from her dario meter that were between 10 mg/dl and 15 mg/dl lower than her other non-dario meter.The user stated that she used the same drop of blood from the same finger when testing her bg.It was also determined that the user's cartridge of strips had been open for longer than thirty days and were therefore, expired.Dario's user guide states in the section precautions: "do not use a test strip expired 1 month from opening.Discard the cartridge 1 month after opening".A replacement of dario's strips and control solution was sent to the user to make sure that the dario strips are reading correctly, and to ensure proper technique.After the above was received, dario's representative followed up with the user, who confirmed that she had received the control solution and new cartridge of strips, however was unable to test with dario's representative at that time.At a later date, dario's representative made another attempt to follow up with the user, with no response.The low bg readings may have been due to misuse of the strips.There is not enough information regarding the meter and old strips available to further investigate this case.Therefore, no resolution is available.
