Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in Non-insulin
Treated Type 2 Diabetes.
2in1. control solution contains a known
amount of glucose and is used to
check that the meter and the test
strips are working properly. Control
solution is available separately.
Do a control solution test:
• to practice the test process instead
of using blood,
• whenever you open a new vial of
test strips,
• if you suspect the meter or the test
strips are not working properly,
• if you have had repeated unexpected
blood glucose results, or
• if your meter has been dropped,
exposed to liquid or is otherwise
damaged.
