I've had that happen, too. I think it has to do with being in a hurry to get on with it and maybe get back to bed. Sometimes I don't get Hannah's ear warm enough to encourage bleeding or I don't bother to massage it. That can result in a failed attempt and a wasted strip... or two. :oops:

Oh yeah.... And not only in the 'wee small hours'....
The first tests I've done in the morning have been pretty rubbish lately. And I've been doing this for a long time...
When we're tired - or not yet fully awake - we can make all kinds of little errors. When I'm sleepy my attempts to prick the ear can be pretty 'hit and miss', and I frequently find that I've not got enough blood to test, but am so sleepy that I try to put it onto the test strip anyway, only to get a failed test result...
And contrariwise, one daft mistake that I keep repeating of late is to prick the ear and get a drop of blood and then realise that I've not actually put a test strip into the meter.... Well, DUH!!! (but at least I'm not wasting a strip on that occasion... ;) )
... I gave up coffee a little while ago, and that's my excuse....:rolleyes:
