Hi, I received new test strips for my FreeStyle Freedom Lite today. When I tried to measure my blood glucose level, an error code err 3 appeared, indicating a handling error. The first strip from the container worked fine, but now I've tried three more and all have given me the err 3 error code. Is it a device error?

My FreeStyle Lite kit comes with a pen-like object in which to place the lancet. The lancet will not extend through the top of the pen. No needle, no blood to test. Defect or dumbness (on my part). I've watched three videos, but there's not much on trouble shooting.

The head of your lancet device is skewed. Turn it so that the space for the number setting is visible directly above the switch you pull down to arm the lancet. 1 is shallowest, while 5 is deepest. Honestly, with mine set at 5 it barely breaks my skin, and I have to massage my finger to ensure I have enough blood to take a reading.

Does the Freestyle Lite glucose meter lose effectiveness after years of use? Wondering when to order a new meter.

My meter displayed PC over night. I replaced the battery and the symbol reappeared. I cannot get it to turn off. Why?

Page 15 - - Showing the miniature image of the opening screen is completely useless - - There should be a huge image of this screen with arrows and descriptions of what information is on the screen - - I still have no idea where the battery level is, in all the clutter that is on that screen ... Additionally we are told to call if our screen shows different information ... how can you call when it comes on for a flash and won't let you study the screen???
