“The use of individual wrappers for these test strips is ridiculous. They are hard to tear open, you can't tell whether you're going to grab the sample channel (where the blood goes) and contaminate it by holding it, and I'm afraid of damaging the test strip by simply tearing open the foil or plastic wrapper. Also, they don't seem to reliably soak up the blood and test results are not close and consistent done one right after the other. I now wish I had bought a machine that used strips that were loose in a box so I could get them easily and not grab them by the sample channel.”
