Night.Strip.Trash

There was a time that I was a neat night pancreas...


See how the used test strips are/were housed in a dish?

"Oh...yea...If ya get some sort of error message when checking Joe ... just grab another strip and re-test....and if that one errors-out...just grab another strip...and so-on...til you get a number." ~ Me to Dave

You see...

A few nights ago...and btw, I am surprised this hasn't happened to me before during my 7 years as an exogenous pancreas.

During the 2am check, while trying to coax out a strip from a fresh (fresh - meaning full and hard to manipulate out a strip) freestyle vial~vesicle~container~thingy, I dumped out all 47 or so strips onto Joe's chest of drawers.  Unfortunately, they spewed out all willy-nilly-like all over the place and there were some old used test strips spritzled into the mix.  I'm a slob night time pancreas, so it seems.

So, our test strip vial now has "old-dirtys" mixed in with "new-cleans".  Nice.

 
 

A day~in~the~life of needing to clean up my night-time act.  I'm sure you are better about throwing away your used night strips.
