Question Disposing of Diabetic test strips

I normally test 2 or 3 times per week. Recently I was told by my diabetes supplier that once the tube with the strips is opened you shouldn't use these strips after 3 months regardless of the expiration date. Don't know if this is true but figured someone here might know whether this information is correct.
I figured maybe they told me this in order for me to purchase another 50 strips.
