Starfire replied to brandi's discussion 'Medical Supplied Needed and Uninsured'"no one will be able to afford healthcare on jan 1 2014, prices are already at 1800.00 min for family of 2, and they are expecting 2200.00 to be the norm. this will be the worst medical storm you have ever seen....may the force be with you all."
Starfire replied to Captain's discussion 'Insurance. Advice very much appreciated!'"I live in central florida, my insurance ended the 1st of feb. I am getting goblue with blue cross and blue shield, not a very good plan, just to carry me over for 6 months, then I am going on the state pre-existing condition plan, believe it or not…"
Starfire replied to Potato-Less Celt's discussion 'A1C Home Test Kit'"I have used the bayer A1C home test kit for the last 2 yrs, that was 4 tests at home, 3 of them i was on my way to the pc doc, they did an a1c in the lab, and sent it away, all 3 times my home test was 5.4, the lab test was 5.3 ,now that to me is…"
Sam replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"rarely use them... but I suspect that, within reason, the expiration dates are not important... ie expired last year, just fine... older than you, maybe not"
Daisy Mae replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"i havent bothered w/ the wipes since the skin on my fingertips became so calloused that there is no point in drying them out anymore. i just wash my hands often during the day."
Robbo replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"Yep they do expire. Im a nursing student and we recently had a conversation about this. Everything oxidizes and the paper/foil they come in breaksdown. They could still be good past the expiration date, all depends on how they where stored. I would…"
Starfire replied to Judith's discussion 'What Paul Ryan Thinks of Me……'"I agree with you however, this is not the place. you can have all the political conversation you want on POLITICAL DISCUSSION BOARDS...."
Teena replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"Hmmm...not a chemist here, but I think alcohol(Isopropyl or rubbing alcohol) oxidizes to acetone. However, the oxidation takes a very very very long time. And we may have to factor in the kind of container, storage location, humidity.weather, etc.…"
Ed replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"I actually have some alcohol wipes from BD that are close to 20 years old. I am mostly a soap and water guy; hence the reason they are around so long. Last time I pulled one they worked fine. They were in those good foil packs back then. I have…"
Ruth replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"Alcohol expires? Does this mean I have to throw out that 10-year old bottle of rubbing alcohol I have in the linen closet???
Seriously, I don't think alcohol expires; the wipes may dry out, but the alcohol itself should be fine. After all, we…"
RFamHere replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"I don't use alcohol wipes (just wash with soap and water), but I'd lean toward drying out. (Not a medical professional. My personal opinion)"
Shawnmarie replied to Starfire's discussion 'alcohol wipes expired'"I say the only true expiration = drying out. I wouldn't doubt that they put an expiration date on them simply so that when they do dry out customers can't complain that they were defective in some way."

Jay said… Welcome to TuDiabetes and to FLAUSA. Let me know if I can be of any assistance to you on this site. You'll find it a great place to meet people and learn more about dealing with diabetes. Clearwater is one of my favorite places in the state. Be sure to tell us all about it: places to go, where to eat, where to stay, generally what to do when we're in your neck of the woods.
