A glucometer strip only samples a drop of blood from your fingertip and doesn't come into contact with your baby in any way. An expired strip mainly risks an inaccurate reading, not harm.
Next Steps
If you're unsure of the reading, simply repeat the test with a fresh strip or check with your obstetrician at your next visit.
