Do testing strips and glucometre have an expiry date?

Q: Do diabetic supplies like lancets, metres, test strips expire? If yes, why and what can we do with the supplies if they expire?

Meters do not have expiry but from time to time these should be calibrated. Lancets also have a expiry on the packing. After expiry strips and lancets should not be used.
