So we all test are blood sugar 6-14 times a day.  Occasionally a used 1 or 2 get away.  In my case I find them everywhere, my shoes, my work bag, my car, all over my office. 

 

I'm curious to know where are some strange places you have found a used test strip??

 

Here is my strange place.  I go to a resort in the Poconos every New Years eve.  We usually tend to stay in the exact same room every year.  Well this past New Years I noticed a freestyle test strip in a corner of the room.  We just got to the room, so I didn't have time to mark my territory yet.  I guess it could have been from someone else, but I think it was mine from the previous year or so. 

 

I'd like to hear your story.

I love when they stick to me.  It's like they are still trying to get at my blood.  Found one on my dog the other day!

I have found them in my cat's litter box!  I also found one in a gift bag I was putting a birthday present into.  It was a brand new gift bag so I am not sure how that happened...

I always test my son before I leave for work, usually not in my work clothes yet either, one day I felt something poking me all day!  I found a test strip in my bra!  I laughed my head off!  Who know how the heck it got there!

I tend to throw my strips right  away but, they have been known to "float" around. I've found them on the bottom of my shoes, in my change purse, hanging off the sleeve of my sweater and in the cuff of my jeans!
