Group 7-day waking average?

Has the cartridge been in fully and then taken out? If so, then it won't go back in again. There is some sort of interlock to stop you putting a used cartridge in. Try a new cartridge... (and once it is in don't touch it).

PS been there, done that when I first got the fast click!

Brand new cartridge. Hasn’t ever gone further in than in the photo above.

And I don’t have any spare cartridges because boots didn’t have any to buy (not on prescription for me). So it’s just the one which came in the box.

It's a shame you haven't got a spare one to compare to as it sounds like it must have been in and out once already then

@ColinUK can you add a pic of the drum itself? xx

 

[ColinUK]

I’ve got the receipt and I’ve contacted Roche.

It was the only one Boots had in stock as well.

Yep the red markings on the white bit suggests it's been used.

That’s how it came out of the box. All sealed. Brand new.

Unused for comparisons.

Definitely a manufacturer problem then.

That’s awful really that is a brand new item and it’s actually “used”.

I’ll call Roche in the morning. No doubt they’ll send me a new drum.

Thank you all for your help.

I have used for years and never seen a red line or had a problem with the cartridges. Hope you get answer from Roche.

If I don’t then I’ll take it back to Boots for a refund.

@grovesy the red line is visible when you remove the drum from the lancing device

@ColinUK was it in a sealed bag? The drum I mean, it may not have been used but an error in manufacturing, I'm away to send you a PM anyway xx

It was in a sealed bag and had the red line showing in the bag.

Sometimes these things happen.
Also picked up a portable hob as the cooker is out of order and got it home, opened the box and it was broken so it’s just my day for things like this to happen it seems.

Good evening/night folks. Just caught up with the posts as i've been AWOL since Thursday.
Congrats to all who have had a HS
@eggyg sorry to hear your sad news
@ColinUK i hope you manage to get things sorted.
Everyone else, i hope you've all had a good weekend.

Good morning to you all. Dark and cold out there right now.

BG 5.3 this morning. So close!

Nothing but a bit of shopping planned this morning.

 

[freesia]

Good morning everyone, though i don't know what is good...its Monday, dark and i'm very tired and i've got to go to work.
Anyway 6.8 for me this morning. Happy with that as i've done lots of walking this weekend and levels have been quite low (had 3 hypos) despite every attempt to keep them level.
Have a good day all, whatever your plans.

 

[goodybags]

Good morning 6.0 today

 

[ColinUK]

7.1 this morning.

Also managed to get back on the exercise bike last night whilst watching telly. That’s what I bought it for so I can at least move whilst being entertained. Although the film I watched last night wasn’t actually all that entertaining.
