-- Posted by raiachristine at 11:38 am on Nov. 26, 2008 I just got one the other day, and the test strips are super expensive so we decided to get a new meter (moms out getting it right now). Anyway, I decided to use up the strips, I had 4 left, so I decided to test today. Well I did, and at first, I couldn't get a good blood droplet, so I had to prick myself about 3 or 4 times (which is weird cause I only had do it once last night but anyway), and the test strips just wouldn't fill! finally  Igot one, and then it kept giving me the 3-5 code, and IDK whats wrong with it! I looked over the instructions, but it doesn't seem to be working. any advice? -- Posted by jackal 13 at 11:40 am on Nov. 26, 2008 Squeeze the hole. More blood comes out. Simple enough. -- Posted by Dass at 11:42 am on Nov. 26, 2008 Quote: from jackal 13 at 11:40 am on Nov. 26, 2008 Squeeze the hole. More blood comes out. Simple enough. thats what she said
