A few of my test strips got wet and I let them dry then mixed them with the others. Now, I have noticed when testing (after randomly picking a strip) if I get a low reading compared to the usual- is this because they were wet/dried? If this happens, I use another test strip and the result is within the usual range for me. So, getting strips wet then dry -- will this affect the result?

Yes, wetting and drying FreeStyle Lite test strips can affect the accuracy of blood glucose readings. The test strips should not be exposed to water or any liquid, as this can lead to inaccurate results.

Your Freestyle Lite meter may not be working after changing the battery due to the following reasons:

1. Battery Installed Incorrectly – Ensure the battery is inserted with the positive (+) sign facing upward.
2. Need to Reset Date and Time – After replacing the battery, reset the date and time if necessary.
3. Test Strip Issues – Make sure the test strip is inserted correctly with the printed side up and fully inserted.
4. Defective Meter or Test Strips – Try a control solution test with a new strip. If the issue persists, the meter or strips may be defective.
5. Foreign Objects in Test Strip Port – Ensure no dust, blood, or other objects are in the port.

If the problem continues, contact Customer Care for assistance.

How do I calibrate my meter

To calibrate the FreeStyle Lite meter, you need to configure it to the specific lot of test strips being used. This is done by inserting lot-specific calibration information into the meter using a smart chip or a calibration code provided with the test strips.

@Mr. Anderson your answer was not clear. Please speak clear English, how do I change test strip code on unit? It ALWAYS gives me a lower reading than my one touch, even when I use same drop of blood.if you can't give me a clear answer I'll go back to one touch
