When test strips go bad

When test strips go bad, do they start reading consistently high, or consistently low, or do they just fail?

Thanks.

    It depends. Sorry but that is the answer. Depends on brand, age, and what caused them to go bad. Even at best case, test strips are about 80% accurate.
