Whilst the meters operating conditions are between 6 Celcius and 44 Celcius.

I have a performa too as this meter has better tempreture handling abilties than most meters and the strips are good too as they can be tested before each test and calibration is also done to operate in great temp ranges too.

With the insulins there has been better ranges for use although keep them out of the sun as now our temps are quite hot indeed and keep cool. Don't leave insulins in the car!!!! I guess that's quite oblivious.
I live in Melbourne as today the sun had a day off but that will not last.
