Error 5: A Nonappreciation
I have to admit that this is pretty low on the list of global problems, or even the list of my problems. But I really dislike Error 5.
On my blood glucose meter, Error 5 means that there wasn't enough blood on the strip for a successful test. Usually this just means that I screwed up touching the strip to my blood drop, but sometimes it's just bad karma or something.
Really, Error 5 just means the waste of a few seconds and a test strip. It's not a big loss, at least for me. But it's still irritating.
Error 5 is the forehead pimple of diabetes problems.
As long as I remain alive,
I'll surely dislike Error 5
It seems no matter how I strive,
I can't avoid that Error 5.
It ain't no lie, it ain't no jive,
I really do hate Error 5.

It is Error 3 that is the bane of my existence. Shows what little patience I have…

I really feel you on this one. But I am wondering if you are spying on me since I woke up this morning with a pimple starting on the middle of my forehead.
