Multiple sample from multiple days: Same donor

Frank W was at work today with DAD Major - working and training w/low BG sample to replicate a quiet school environment.  I found his description interesting.  Is it testworthy as well?

Are you testing distance alerts, too?

Are you using a single low sample?

Or different samples with different numbers?

I brought 3 different low samples from different days.  A low is any number under 75.  Normally I would only work 1 sample, but since I was at work for several hours with no known diabetics, I tried to simulate a rough day of lows, if that makes sense.

I transport them in the test tubes. The dogs don't see them. At work, for 1 test I took my oldest sample (day 3 of being defrosted, almost 60 days old) and just put the cotton on my desk while Major was under the desk. Normally I wouldn't use a sample that old, but with these dogs, we don't get lows. At our Endo appt 2 weeks ago , he was most impressed with our lack of low episodes, and yet still maintains a 7.3 a1c with a girl in puberty. So I stretch the samples and probably keep them past the expiration date because we don't generate a lot of them

What kind of containers are the samples in?

Do the dogs see them?
