I have manual mobility problems, and sometimes I punish myself and I do not get the suffering amount of blood so the strip of the meter does not detect it and I have to repeat the operation, using a new strip.Do you know any meter whose strips admit more than one blood sample?

I do not know any meter that admits to reuse the strip.The only thing I can tell you is that you make sure that a good drop of blood comes out so as not to err.If you see there's little, don't try.With mobility problems you may have it to tempt several times, but thus avoid wasting strips.

I do not believe that there are reusable strips, if so they would not win the millions and millions of € uros or dollars that are being pocketed- simply does not interest that they exist.

Bayer's meter, Contour Next, needs very little amount of blood and if you fall short, he warns you that it is insufficient and you have time to click on another finger and put more ...

I don't think they exist.It happens to me, without having mobility problems, still, that the strip does not detect the blood because there is little.I have to click up to 4 times in the same place for me to get enough amount for the pull to detect it, which in addition to massacrating to punctures, wasteful strips, I think there is enough blood ... but no.

Months ago I changed my glucometer and strips, and now I need more blood to detect it.Instead of moving forward, back,
